Introducing 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*
(for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 3.1x) 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.
