Endpoints screen

How to get there

In the Insite Navigation Pane for Powertech Antivirus, choose Endpoints.

Or, on the Home Page, click View for an item in the Endpoints Status section.

What it does

The Endpoints screen indicates the status of registered endpoints and allows you to manage the Insite PTAV Service, which allows you to run On-Demand scans and update virus definitions on endpoints. This list excludes endpoints that have not been allowed, as well as endpoints that have been blocked. (See Connection Settings screen for details.)

Identifying the Endpoint Status

Warning. No major issues found, but warnings reported.

Critical. Issues found. Action required.
