3: Setting Up the Webroot Enterprise
Server
You can perform the following tasks to complete the setup of the Webroot Enterprise Server:
• Access the Admin Console and view news (see page 29)
• Edit the server settings (see page 29)
• Set up notification (see page 32)
• Manage client workstations (see page 34)
• Assign distributor servers (see page 25)
• Filter information (see page 37)
Accessing the Admin Console and Viewing News
The Admin Console is where you set up, manage, and monitor Webroot Enterprise updates and
applications.
Webroot maintains a Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise news page that contains information about
current version numbers and general spyware news. It also contains links to notes about updates
and current documentation.
To access the Admin Console and view news:
1. Select Start > Programs > Webroot (Enterprise) > Admin Console.
• The Admin Console window displays, showing the News panel. The News panel
includes information of interest to system administrators about spyware.
2. Select Admin Tasks > News.
3. Click Update News.
Editing the Server Settings
You entered your server settings during the installation process. These settings provide
information to each Spy Sweeper client about the frequency and address for contacting your
company server.
Below are important notes about the server settings:
• Client workstations will only get updates and setting changes when the CommAgent polls
your company server. Any updates you make here (or elsewhere) will be applied after the
polling interval has passed. For example, if your polling interval is every hour and your
last client heartbeat was 30 minutes ago, changes you make will be applied 30 minutes
from now.
