Local Smart Scan Server
OfficeScan provides two types of local Smart Scan Servers. Both servers have the same
functions.
• Integrated: Setup includes an integrated Smart Scan Server that installs on the
same computer where the OfficeScan server installed.
If you installed the integrated server during OfficeScan server installation,
configure the update settings for this server and ensure the server has the latest
updates. For details on updating this server, see Smart Scan Server Update on page
4-21.
If you want clients to connect to this server through a proxy server, configure proxy
settings. For details, see Internal Proxy on page 9-39.
Tip: Consider disabling the OfficeScan firewall on the server computer. When
enabled, the OfficeScan firewall may affect the integrated server’s performance.
For information on disabling the OfficeScan firewall, see Disabling the OfficeScan
Firewall on page 7-19.
• Standalone: A standalone Smart Scan Server installs on a VMware server. The
standalone server has a separate management console and is not managed from the
OfficeScan Web console.
If you have not set up any of these servers, install them first before switching clients to
smart scan. Refer to the Trend Micro Smart Scan for OfficeScan Getting Started Guide for
information on reactivating the integrated server, and installing and managing the
standalone server.
Tip: Trend Micro recommends installing multiple servers for failover purposes. Clients that
are unable to connect to a particular server will try to connect to the other servers you
have set up.
