Outbreak Prevention
When an outbreak occurs, enforce outbreak prevention measures to respond to and
contain the outbreak. Configure prevention settings carefully because incorrect
configuration may cause unforeseen network issues.
To configure and activate outbreak prevention settings:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > OUTBREAK PREVENTION > START OUTBREAK PREVENTION
1. Enforce any of the following outbreak prevention policies:
• Limit/Deny Access to Shared Folders
• Block Ports
• Deny Write Access to Files and Folders
2. Select the number of hours outbreak prevention will stay in effect. The default is 48
hours. You can manually restore network settings before the outbreak prevention
period expires.
WARNING! Do not allow outbreak prevention to remain in effect indefinitely. To
block or deny access to certain files, folders, or ports indefinitely,
modify computer and network settings directly instead of using
OfficeScan.
3. Accept or modify the default client notification message.
Note: To configure OfficeScan to notify you during an outbreak, go to Notifications
> Administrator Notifications > Outbreak Notifications.
4. Click Start Outbreak Notification. The outbreak prevention measures you
selected display in a new window.
5. Back in the client tree, check the OPP column. A check mark appears on
computers applying outbreak prevention measures.
OfficeScan records the following events in the system event logs:
• Server events (initiating outbreak prevention and notifying clients to enable
outbreak prevention)
• Client event (enabling outbreak prevention)
