Enforced Client Product Guide Introduction
How does the software work?
1
Updates can occur in three ways, enabling you to use network resources efficiently.
Figure 1-2 Methods for updating client computers
In a simple scenario, each client computer on your account has a direct connection to the
Internet and checks for new updates.
Rumor technology enables all computers in a workgroup to share downloaded files, which
controls Internet traffic and minimizes expensive downloads.
Internet Independent Updating (IIU) enables any computer on the network to get information
from the update site, even if that computer does not have an Internet connection, as long as
at least one computer on the network is configured as a relay server.
Retrieving updates
Five minutes after a client computer starts, and at regular intervals throughout the day, the
Enforced Client client software checks if updates are available. If they are, the client computer
pulls them from another computer on the network (via
Rumor technology) or downloads them
directly from the Internet site.
