For maximum protection, configure your policies to check for an outbreak DAT file every hour (see Enable optional protection on page 97). This feature is enabled by default.

Update computers where no user is logged on

In most scenarios, Enforced Client supports terminal servers and the Windows fast user switching feature. When an update occurs, one session is designated as the primary update session. A pseudo user is defined, which enables automatic updates to occur on computers where no user is logged on.

For certain configurations, automatic updates cannot occur. Enforced Client cannot create the pseudo user when:

„The computer is a domain controller.

„Local security policies, including password restrictions, prevent the user’s creation.

When the pseudo user cannot be created, automatic updates do not occur. The pseudo user also cannot update if the computer is behind an authenticating proxy server.

For these situations, you can disable the Update client computers where users are not logged in policy setting on the SecurityCenter’s Advanced Settings tab (see Set advanced virus protection options on page 97). This prevents automatic update attempts from being reported as errors.

To disable updates for non-logged-on users:

1On the Groups + Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).

2Click the Advanced Settings tab.

3Deselect Update client computers where users are not logged in, then click Save.
