Switching From Smart Scan to Conventional Scan
When you switch clients back to conventional scan, consider the following:
1. Number of clients to switch
Switching a relatively small number of clients at a time allows efficient use of OfficeScan
server and Smart Scan Server resources. These servers can perform other critical tasks
while clients change their scan methods.
2. Timing
When switching back to conventional scan, clients will likely download the full version
of the Virus Pattern and Spyware-active Monitoring Pattern from the OfficeScan server.
These pattern files are only used by conventional scan clients.
Consider switching during off-peak hours to ensure the download process finishes
within a short amount of time. Also consider switching when no client is scheduled to
update from the server. Also temporarily disable "Update Now" on clients and re-enable
it after the clients have switched to smart scan.
3. Client tree settings
Scan method is a granular setting that can be set on the root, domain, or individual client
level. When switching to conventional scan, you can:
• Create a new client tree domain and assign conventional scan as its scan method.
Any client you move to this domain will use conventional scan.
Note: When you move the client, enable the setting Apply settings of new domain to
selected clients.
• Select a domain and configure it to use conventional scan. Smart scan clients
belonging to the domain will switch to conventional scan.
• Select one or several smart scan clients from a domain and then switch them to
conventional scan.
Note: Any changes to the domain’s scan method overrides the scan method you have
configured for individual clients.
