  3. Avira Management Center (AMC) The Avira Management Center (AMC) enables the remote installation and administration of Avira products on the network. The AMC consists of three components: AMC Server: This is the main application which runs on a central server on the network and consists of three services: – Server – Event Manager – Internet Update Manager * This server also contains an integrated database for event administration. AMC Agent: A service performed on the computers on the network which establishes the connection between the main application (SMC Server) and the Avira products on the computers. AMC Frontend: A graphical user interface which can, for example, be installed on the administrator’s computer and which facilitates the effective administration of Avira SMC services and components.

  4. Example:

  5. Functionality: The AMC Server operates with the aid of three services, each performing different tasks, which communicate with each other via an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP connection. It manages: computers integrated into the Security Environment of AMC, Avira products installed on the computers, software packages supported by AMC. Avira software packages are stored in the Software Repository of the SMC and can be remotely installed on computers in the Security Environment. An Avira product can inherit the configuration settings from its group, if installed via SMC. The Event Manager receives events (e.g. virus alerts), saves them in a database and forwards them for display and generation of reports in the SMC Frontend. The Avira Update Manager (AUM) carries out updates to the managed Avira products, the software packages in the SMC repository, and the SMC components.

  6. The AMC Agent, which is installed on the computers in the Security Environment, forwards the commands, tasks and configurations of the main application AMC Server to the Avira products on the computers. The AMC Agent can relay events and messages from the Avira products to the AMC Server to be displayed in the AMC Frontend. The AMC Frontend is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This graphical user interface clearly displays all information.

  7. All computers (Windows and Linux workstations and servers) in the Security Environment of the company network can be managed and monitored using the Avira AMC. The computers are arranged in the Security Environment in a freely configurable tree structure with hierarchical groups. The most important features and functions of AMC: 1. Configuration of a secure network environment Graphical user interface for the configuration and operation of AMC (snap-in for Microsoft Management Console) Silent setup of AMC Agents via the network Remote installation, configuration, updating and uninstallation of the Avira security software on all network computers Central repository for Avira products for installation on the network User management for adding and monitoring users and access rights to computers or groups Features :

  8. Backup of server files SSL-encrypted communication protocol Support for computers with dynamically allocated IP addresses (DHCP) 2. Control of Avira security products via the network Central administration of product-specific actions (scan, update, etc.) via configurable commands and tasks Sharing files/licenses and Remote execution of programs from the share directory of the AMC Server Pull mechanism to reduce the network load on very large networks Saving of pending operations and tasks (installation, configuration, commands) for computers to which access is temporarily unavailable, and for pull Agents 3. Updating of Avira software via the network Central and automatic updating of supported software packages and of AMC components with Avira Update Manager Monitoring products’ status Central control of the update function for installed Avira products with Avira Update Manager or via a scheduled task Testing the updates before they are committed to the share directory

  9. 4. Monitoring the activity of Avira products via the network Event Manager to send network warnings and email notifications for specific events Configurable reports for Avira products on the network Central view for all events and reports issued by Avira products on the network

  11. INSTALLATION OF THE AMC SERVER www.avira.com

  12. Prerequisite for communication between the AMC Agent and AMC Server • If a firewall is installed on a client, the following ports (TCP) must be enabled: 7000, 7001, 7080, 7100. ICMP queries must also be allowed Other firewalls may disrupt the communication between Agent and Server. Should this be the case you’ll find corresponding error messages in the log files ( Displaying log files). • With an active Windows Firewall, exceptions for incoming ICMP echo requests (ping), Windows remote administration and Windows file and printer sharing must be configured. • The Simple file sharing must be deactivated for Windows XP: uncheck the option Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View/Use simple file sharing (recommended). • The SMC Server must be able to access the administrative share C$ (\\<Client-IP>\C$) and the remote administration on the client with an authorized user account.
