Replicating Settings Parent topic

If you have installed multiple IMSVA scanners that do not share the same admin database, you can use Trend Micro Control Manager to replicate settings across these scanners without having to configure each scanner separately. If the scanners share the same admin database, it is not necessary to replicate settings.
Do the following if you intend to replicate settings using Control Manager:
  • Step 1: Back up IMSVA settings.
  • Step 2: Enable the MCP agent.
  • Step 3: Replicate settings from the Control Manager management console.
