Features of the Application
The new eScan Management Console provides administrators with a convenient mechanism of managing the eScan server and eScan client computers in a network. Some of its salient features are as follows:
- a. Web based User Interface
The new eScan Management Console is a Web based application that can be accessed via a Web browser from any computer in a network. It has a pleasing user interface and is extremely easy to use. In addition, it provides clear instructions for performing configuration and management tasks.
- b. Remote Management of Computers
The eScan Management Console is a Web based application that is hosted on the server and can be accessed via a Web browser from any computer in the network. This feature is especially beneficial to administrators of large networks as they can centrally access the console and perform the management tasks remotely from anywhere in the network. Remote Installation and Uninstallation of eScan With the help of the new eScan Management Console, administrators can install or uninstall eScan remotely on any computer in the network. Remote Installation and Uninstallation of Other Software The eScan Management Console allows administrators to install or uninstall other software on any computer in the network. Management of Computer Groups Administrators often have to configure the same settings on multiple computers. Performing these tasks manually is often time consuming and laborious. eScan eliminates the need for configuring computers individually by allowing the creation of computer groups. Administrators can create groups and add computers to those groups, delete groups, and view the properties of groups. Management of User Accounts The eScan Management Console helps administrators centrally manage user accounts of local and Active Directory users. It allows the addition, creation, and deletion of such accounts. In addition, it also allows administrators to enable or disable accounts based on the requirements. Report Generation and Scheduling The eScan Management Console also allows administrators to create and view reports that are based on a given module. Administrators can either create reports based on predefined templates or customize them based on their requirements. Administrators can also specify whether they want eScan to either create and send reports to specific recipients on specific days at a given time or create and store the report in a specific folder. Schedule Tasks on Computers or Groups With the help of the eScan Management Console, administrators can create tasks and schedule them to run on specific computers or computer groups on specific days at a given time. These may involve the enabling or disabling of specific eScan modules, starting or stopping a server, setting up an update server; performing scans on the memory, system drive, and local drives; and forcing clients to download updates or upgrade based on the settings defined in the tasks. Send Virus Outbreak Alerts and Notifications Regarding Security Violations Administrators can configure the eScan Management Console to send notifications to specific recipients from specified senders when the number of viruses detected by eScan cross a defined threshold.
Thus, eScan Management Console simplifies the task of managing the eScan client computers in a network.
