The on-demand scanner is one of the anti-virus
components. It can scan all files for viruses when
scheduled by the Scheduler.
A repository is a set of subdirectories that contain all the
components for distribution around the network.
Member machines have read-only access to it. Updates
can occur at any time, so the repository must be on a
continuously running Windows NT server, which may
also be the Management Server, or a different machine.
One of the Management components, the Response
Manager runs on the Management Server to receive
alerts from the Management Agents. Running in the
background, the Response Manager is not configurable
from within the Management Console. However, you
can define who to alert and how to alert them using the
Alert Manager.
One of the Management components, the Scheduler lets
you schedule an on-demand scan to occur at a specific
time. It then sends a command to all selected member
machines that are running, telling them to scan
themselves using their on-demand scanner. The
Scheduler can schedule scans for a single machine, a
group of machines or all machines within the anti-virus
domain. Do not confuse this with the local Scheduler,
which can only schedule scans for the individual
machine on which it is present.
One of the Management components, the Update Agent
processes changes to the configuration of installed
components. The Management Console automatically
produces a script to control these changes, and to
control component installation and uninstallation. The
Update Agent then processes this script. Unlike the
other components, which run in the background, the
Update Agent is launched by the Management Agent.
