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.
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.
Features :
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
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
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

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 youll 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$ (\\<ClientIP>\C$) and the remote administration on the client with an authorized user account.

I. Priority Server
Enter the URL of the server that will first be requested to provide the update for your AMC clients. Format: http://<address of web server>:<:Update Port>/update *Default Update Port: 7080 If the priority server cannot be reached, the default servers (Avira Update Servers) will be used instead.
Example
For every action (Scan/Update), you could define the display mode of the job window: Minimize: progress bar only Maximize: Entire job window Hide: No job window As always, We recommend regular and frequent updates.
V. User Management
The User Management function lets you create users with specific access rights.
Administrators can use this function to organize the monitoring of the Security Environment effectively and delegate specific IT tasks to users.
Therefore, certain users can be allowed to display specific events or reports in the AMC, whilst being unable to change any security-related settings.
Reports

Reporting
Access reports and regularly retrieve the status of the installed software and overviews of past events and messages on the computers in the Security Environment.
You can let the AMC Agent create reports for individual computers or computer groups in the Security Environment.
