2.2. Connecting clients to the
Administration server
To enable communication between the clients and the administration server, the
client computers must be connected to the server (see section 2.1 on page 11).
The Network Agent installed on clients provides this functionality.
The following operations require connection to the server:
• Refreshing the list of applications installed on client computers
• Synchronization of policies, application settings, tasks, and task settings
• Updating the information on applications and tasks running on client
computers
• Delivery of events to be processed on the server
In most cases, client computers are connected to the server. This connection is
used to automatically exchange data between the clients and the server and to
send information about application events to the server.
Automatic synchronization is performed at regular time intervals defined by the
Network Agent settings (for example, once every fifteen minutes). The time
interval is set by the administrator.
Information about an event is sent to the server immediately after the event
occurs.
