Integrating with ProtectionPilot 1.5
Introduction
7
The console tree is the navigation pane of the console. It shows the servers,
workstation, and appliances that you can administer using ProtectionPilot.
The details pane is to the right of the console. Depending on the item selected in
the console tree, the details pane might have an upper details pane and lower
details pane.
The console’s appearance changes to reflect the items you have selected in the
console tree or in the details pane.
The McAfee Common Agent is the key to remotely managing products. Installed on
each computer, it deploys products, updates virus definition (DAT) files and the
virus-scanning engine, upgrades existing products with service pack and patch
releases. It also gathers data about installed anti-virus products, the computer, and
infection and system activity. In addition, it ensures that requests from the server are
executed and re-executed or enforced as needed. For example, if a user removes the
anti-virus product you have defined for the computer, the agent will reinstall the
product automatically.
Assumptions:
Computer 1: ProtectionPilot is installed and configured on a supported operating
system.
Computer 2: Microsoft
®
Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 is installed and configured
on the server.
