These are the steps:

1. Generate Trial license

2. Download software

3. Prepare server

4. Install OfficeScan server

1. Generate Trial license

If you don’t have one, you’ll need valid license.

You can get a trial here:

2. Download software

You then need to download the software.

Download the primary install file from:

http://downloadcenter.trendmicro.com/index.php?regs=NABU&clk=latest&clkval=7&lang_loc=1

(I’ll try to cover service packs, patches and hotfixes in a later article).


3. Prepare the server

You’re most likely installing OfficeScan on a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.

Before you start the OfficeScan installer you will need to install IIS on the Windows server.

(Press “Win + R” and type “appwiz.cpl” and add and remove Windows components/roles.)


4. Install the OfficeScan server

Simply move the install file to the OfficeScan server and double-click it.

Its pretty much straight forward (Next->Next->Next)

You may choose not to enable the firewall, enable spyware assessment mode, install OfficeScan to another location etc, but I’ll cover best practice configuration in another article.

When you’re finished installing, you can access the OfficeScan server console by typing the following in to your browser, on the server.

https//localhost:4343/officescan


Future topics related to this article:

- OfficeScan patch management, Service Packs, Patches and Hotfixes

- Best practice installation/configuration

And I’m simply not able to answer all the questions regarding installation and troubleshooting.

Therefore I have decided to write a series of posts/articles, to try to answer all of your questions, and to cover some general topics.

So, this is the articles I’ve planned to write:

Trend Micro OfficeScan: Installation

Trend Micro OfficeScan: Smart Scan Server

Trend Micro OfficeScan: Deployment

Trend Micro OfficeScan: Server Components

Trend Micro OfficeScan: Troubleshooting

If anyone has any request/wishes regarding content and topics, please feel free to leave a comment!

Read the original thoughts on OfficeScan 10 (just me ranting):

This is Trend Micro OfficeScan 8.0 SP1 Patch 5

Full readme can be found here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/documentation/readme/OSCE_80_Win_SP1_Patch5_en_readme.txt

It’s important to notice that only the following drivers are compatible with Windows 7:

Virus Scan Engine (8.952 or higher)
Virus Cleanup Engine (6.2.1016 or higher)
Anti-rootkit Driver (2.8.1063 or higher)
Common Firewall Driver (NSC) (5.8.1092 or higher)

Virus Scan Engine and Virus Cleanup Engine can be updated from the Active Update server.

Anti-rootkit Driver and the Common Firewall Driver (NSC) are included in this patch.

I haven’t had time to test if this actually works on Windows 7. If anyone has, please feel free to leave a comment. I will test it as soon as I can.

Trend Micro is now rolling back the VSAPI 9.000 from ActiveUpdate. Reason: “There have been reports of issues on the following products scanning certain malformed PDF files”.

The version available through ActiveUpdate is now 9.100.1001, this is essentially version 8.952.

The products affected are:
OfficeScan
ServerProtect
Worry-Free Business Security (WFBS)

Earlier, they sent out an advisory about VSAPI 9.000 and problems with Windows NT (think it was OfficeScan 7.3 and ServerProtect). The problems resulted in the Scan Engine being unable to load the pattern files.
