10.8 ZSC Update

Patches to repair any minor defects in the Security Client are made available with regular ZENworks Endpoint Security Management updates. Rather than providing a new installer, which needs to be distributed through MSI to all endpoints, ZENworks Security Client Update allows you to specify a location that distributes update patches to end users when they associate to that location.

  1. Make sure the policy you want to configure is open in the Management Console (see Section 10.1, Accessing the Global Settings).

  2. On the Global Policy Settings tab, click ZSC Update.

  3. Check Enable to activate update settings.

  4. Specify the location where the Security Client looks for the updates.

    Because of the file location requirement s in Step 5, you should use the location associated with the enterprise environment (that is, the Work location).

  5. Enter the URI where the patch has been stored.

    This needs to point to the patch file, which can be either the setup.exe file for the Security Client, or an MSI file created from the setup.exe file. For security purposes, these files should be stored on a secure server behind the corporate firewall.

  6. Enter the version information for this file in the provided fields.

    Version information is found by installing the Security Client and opening the About screen (see the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management 4.1 Installation Guide for details). The version number for STEngine.exe is the version number you need to use in the fields.

Each time the user enters the assigned location, the Security Client checks the URI for an update that matches that version number. If an update is available, the Security Client downloads and installs it.
