We have some servers in separate zones in the DMC. We run Trend Micro Officescan on the rest of our network and want to use Officescan on these servers too. We want completely aoutonomous instances of Officescan where the clients do not need to contact an Officescan server for configuration updates or pattern file / scan engine updates. Is this possible? I have been thinking about installing Officescan server on each of these standalone servers, but would prefer to avoid it as it seems like too much overehead. I will also avoid having to run a web server for Officescan server on all of these servers.
As we are migrating from serverprotect to Officescan for server AV protection on the rest of our network I would like to to this for these servers too. Still, if serverprotect with IS and management console running locally on each server is a better solution we may continue using it.
Using AV software from another vendor is not an opion.
Thanks!

Hi, Jowickerman.
Thanks for your help . I tested your solution and it worked fine. One thing: I created the package on an officescan server where I had alloved alloved all permissions that I thoght neccesary under Client management > settings > Priviliges and other settings to enable administration of the AV directly on the stanadalone client. Is this neccesary, or would the priviliges be available anyway?

Hi ragnarholst,
Yes, it is possible:
Create client install package using C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\OfficeScan\PCCSRV\Ad
Or if the computer is still outside of the DMZ do a remote install from the Office Scan console.
When done you need to edit the ofcscan.ini file to point directly to the Trend Global server:
Open the ofcscan.ini (C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\OfficeScan\PCCSRV\Ad
You will see that it states /OfficeScan/download/ this you need to change to http://osce8-p.activeupdat
Do this once and copy-past to the computers with the client installed in the DMZ.
See attached file
Hope this helps.
Cheers
