Creating Anti-virus Network

Quick start to an anti-virus network deployment:

1.Make a plan of the anti-virus network structure, include all protected computers and mobile devices.

Select a computer to perform the functions of Dr.Web Server. The anti-virus network can incorporate several Dr.Web Servers. The features of such configuration are described in p. Peculiarities of a Network with Several Dr.Web Servers.

info

Dr.Web Server can be installed on any computer, not only on a computer functioning as a LAN server. General system requirements to this computer are described in p. System Requirements.

 

On all protected stations including LAN servers, the same Dr.Web Agent version is installed. The difference is in the list of installed anti-virus components defined by the Dr.Web Server settings.

To install Dr.Web Server and Dr.Web Agent, one-time access (physical or via tools of remote control and program launch) to the correspondent computers is required. All further steps will be taken from the anti-virus network administrator’s workplace (which can also be outside the local network) and will not require access to Dr.Web Servers and workstations.

When planning the anti-virus network, it is also recommended that a list of persons is made up, who are to be granted access to the Control Center as required by their job duties, as well as a list of roles with respective responsibilities assigned to each role. An administrative group shall be created for every role. Specific administrators can be linked with the roles by having their accounts placed into administrative groups. If necessary, administrative groups (roles) can be grouped hierarchically as a multilevel system allowing for individual editing of administrative permissions for each level.

warning

To guarantee that Dr.Web Agent works properly on a server Windows OS starting from Windows Server 2016, make sure to manually disable Windows Defender using group policies.
