Getting Started with Trend Micro™ ServerProtect™
1-17
Centralized Management
ServerProtect provides a Windows-based console (the Management Console) to help
you manage multiple Windows Server 2003/2000/NT and Novell NetWare servers on
your network. The console is portable and can be run on any 32-bit Windows
machine (except Windows NT 3.51).
Enhanced Network Security upon Installation
During Normal or Information Server installation, you must enter the administrator
user name and password of the selected target servers.
Faster Response to Virus Outbreaks
If a virus tries to infect a file in a shared folder on a machine running ServerProtect, a
message box appears notifying which computer the virus originated from on a
network. This message box also displays the following information: type of scan, the
name of the virus, File, Computer, and User. In addition, it also displays the action
taken on the virus and the source of infection. See Configuring Notification Messages
on page 3-39.
Flexible Control over Infected Files
When ServerProtect detects an infected file, you can choose to restore the file after
cleaning, send suspect or uncleanable files to Trend Micro, delete the backup file
made before cleaning, or return cleaned files to the user via email.
NetworkTrap Tool
Certain viruses actively seek out shared folders (an example of this type of virus is
PE.FunLove.4099) to infect as many connected users as possible. The NetworkTrap
tool lets you share a folder and automatically copies the contents of the Bait folder to
the newly created shared folder (the Bait’ folder contains files that viruses are likely
to infect). This shared folder works with the new virus notification to create an
effective virus trap. For more information on this topic, refer to the NetworkTrap Tool
section in the online help.
