Installing the OfficeScan Client
3-21
• If you will use the package to upgrade a client to this OfficeScan version, check the
domain level scan method on the Web console. On the console, go to Networked
Computers > Client Management, select the client tree domain to which the
client belongs, and click Settings > Scan Methods. The domain level scan method
should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
• If you will use the package to perform fresh installation of the OfficeScan client,
check the client grouping setting. On the Web console, go to Networked
Computers > Global Client Settings. Verify if the NetBIOS/Active
Directory/DNS domain to which the target computer belongs exists on the client
tree. If the domain exists, check the scan method configured for the domain. If the
domain does not exist, check the root level scan method (select the root icon on
the client tree and click Settings > Scan Methods). The domain or root level scan
method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
• If you will use the package to update components on a client using this
OfficeScan version, check the scan method configured for the client tree
domain to which the client belongs. The domain level scan method should be
consistent with the scan method for the package.
Silent Mode
This option creates a package that installs on the client computer in the background,
unnoticeable to the client and without showing an installation status window. Enable
this option if you plan to deploy the package remotely to the target computer.
Update Agent
This option assigns Update Agent privileges to the client on the target computer.
Update Agents help the OfficeScan server deploy components to clients. For details, see
Update Agents on page 4-37.
If you enable the Update Agent option:
1. Use the Scheduled Update Configuration Tool to enable and configure scheduled
updates for the agent. For details, see
Update Methods for Update Agents on page 4-42.
