Getting Started Guide 5

1Introducing the Management

Edition Program

Introduction

As a network administrator, your time is valuable. You’re responsible for

maintaining your corporate network at its optimum. The Management Edition

program solves your need for timely, efficient, and cost-effective

enterprise-wide anti-virus software distribution. With it, you can seamlessly

install, configure, and manage anti-virus software for remote networked

machines within anti-virus domains that you create.

What is the Management Edition program?

The Management Edition program is Network Associates* real-time software

distribution system, which installs, configures, upgrades, and removes

anti-virus software for remote machines on a network. The Management

Edition software helps protect your network from attacks by enabling

centralized upgrading of your network’s anti-virus software, as well as

centralized alerting of detected attacks. It reduces the time you must spend

installing and managing anti-virus software, particularly on large networks,

ensuring uninterrupted network security.

The Management Edition software helps you safeguard one of your most

important assets—your data—by delivering timely upgrades of VirusScan*

(forWindows95,Windows98,WindowsNT,andWindows3.1x) and

NetShield* for Windows NT. Anti-virus software distribution is an important

element in a comprehensive security program that includes a variety of safety

measures, such as regular use of encryption and intrusion detection software,

backups, meaningful password protection, training, and security awareness.

Network Associates urges you to set up and comply with such a security

program.

How does the Management Edition program work?

The Management Edition program installs software to member machines in

the anti-virus domains that you create, from software repositories (master,

mirror, and linked) that you create. You control these activities from the

Management Console, a drag-and-drop application that runs on Microsoft

Windows NT.

Introducing the Management Edition Program

6 Management Edition

You can install the Management Edition program on the local hard disk drive

of the administrator’s workstation. You will need a Microsoft Windows NT

Domain Administrator account.



NOTE: You must install the Management Console and the Management

Server only on a Windows NT system. (The Management Console runs

only on Windows NT 4.0, and the Management Server runs on Windows

NT 3.51 or later.) Both applications, however, handle all tasks in the same

way across all Management Agent workstation platforms (Windows NT,

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 3.x, and Novell NetWare 3.12 or

later), which means less time spent learning new systems.

Most of the program’s functionality is built into these integrated services:

•Management Console. Use the Management Console to configure and

install anti-virus software on any machines in the anti-virus domain. For

details, see Chapter 3, “Creating Anti-virus Domains”and Chapter 5,

“Updating Your Anti-virus Software,”in your online Administrator’s

Guide.

• Management Server. Use the Management Server to coordinate the

scheduling of scans, receive alerts, and generate reports for the entire

anti-virus domain. For details, see Chapter 4, “Creating Schedules,”in

your online Administrator’s Guide.

• Management Agent. Use the Management Agent to initiate on-demand

scans via the Scheduler, and to send virus alerts from on-demand and

on-access scans back to the Management Server. For details, see Chapter

4, “Creating Schedules,”in your online Administrator’s Guide.

•Alert Manager. Use the Alert Manager to configure alert notification

settings. When the anti-virus software managed by the Management

Edition program detects malicious activity on your servers, you can be

notified immediately by one or more of a wide variety of notification

methods. For details, see Chapter 6, “Using the Alert Manager,”in your

online Administrator’s Guide.

These services work together to provide easy management of machines in

your anti-virus domain. Each service is configurable through a console. To

access the Alert Manager settings from the Management Console, click

Anti-Virus Domain(s), an individual domain, a members group, or an

individual machine, and then click the Component Configuration

toolbar button.

Getting Started Guide 7

Introducing the Management Edition Program

Management Edition program features

This version of the Management Edition program builds on the strengths of

previous versions, extending the established functionality and providing new

features to help you manage your network anti-virus solutions. See the

WHATSNEW.TXT file included with the software for a full list of new features

and information on the latest changes.

New functionality

•The Management Edition program now supports NetShield for NetWare

v4.1.1 anti-virus software.

•Forced updates of invalid external mirrors give you more control over how

and when mirror repositories are updated.

•This release includes the ability to configure custom tools—such as the

additional console required to configure remote NetShield for NetWare

servers—that can be launched from the Tools menu in the Management

Console.

•You can now use the Repository’s Products page to update product files

such as SETUP.EXE or SETUP.ISS in addition to script (MCSCRIPT.INI)

and extension .DLL files.

•You can now define custom messages that can be appear immediately

before or after a client update.

•This release features enhanced control over Name Provider-installed

machines.

Seamlessly interactive management tools

•The Management Console lets you configure and install anti-virus

software on any machines in the anti-virus domain from any Windows NT

machine on which it is installed.

•The Management Server coordinates the scheduling of scans, receives

alerts, and generates reports for the entire anti-virus domain from the

Windows NT machine on which it is installed.

•The Management Agent provides client installers for Windows 95 and

Windows NT machines that have peer networking disabled or removed, so

that you can add them to the network without need for file sharing.

•The diagnostics wizard gathers information in an e-mailable format and

helps our technical support staff solve your problems faster.

Introducing the Management Edition Program

8 Management Edition

Automated software distribution

•The Management Console enables enhanced distribution speeds to a large

number of machines and efficiently stores domain and machine

information as registry entries (not .INI files).

•An enhanced Batch Install method lets desktop and laptop users initiate an

update upon login for fast installation of anti-virus software and updates.

•Linked repositories reduce WAN traffic by allowing you to distribute

software between repositories without having to install software from

separate CD-ROM discs.

•Different language versions of the same anti-virus software can co-exist in

a single repository. You specify the language version to be distributed for

each machine, group, or domain.

•Software installation reports show which anti-virus software is installed on

which machines, which machines are in which anti-virus domain, and

which machines have a non-standard configuration.

Real-time virus detection and notification

•On-access (inbound and outbound) anti-virus scanning provides real-time

identification of both known and unknown viruses upon file access, create,

copy, rename, and run; disk access; system startup; and system shutdown.

•On-demand anti-virus scanning offers user-initiated detection of known

boot, file, macro, multi-partite, stealth, encrypted, and polymorphic

viruses located within files, drives (local and network), and diskettes.

•The Alert Manager offers centralized virus notification via alphanumeric

pager, SMTP e-mail, SNMP messaging, DMI alerting, audible alerting,

network broadcast, program execution, and Windows NT event logging.

(For details, see Chapter 6, “Using the Alert Manager,”in your online

Administrator’s Guide.)

•At-a-glance scan status via the anti-virus domain view reveals whether a

machine is all clear, infected, or overdue for a scan.

•Scans can be scheduled for entire member groups, as well as individual

machines or the whole domain.

•Virus-scan reports display how many virus alerts have occurred over a

specified period of time on specified machines.
