Question

FortiClient: update client signature on startup

Hello everyone,

I am running FortiClient EMS with FortiClient EPP/APT.

 

After booting a windows PC with FortiClient installed, Microsoft Security center immediately tells me that FortiClient is out of date.

It takes quite a while until FortiClient updates it signatures automatically.

This morning Outlook rejected to save a mail locally on the pc because microsoft security center told the user to update his antivirus signatures.

 

How can I set FortiClient to update antivirus signature immediately after reboot? It is quite ugly that every user gets a notification "antivirus out of date" after reboot...

 

Current setting in FortiClient EMS:

Hi Miciti

I think one possible solution would be to tune the MS security center so it gives a longer grace period to the AV to update.

Thanks for your input! Good idea.

 

Sadly I did not find any setting for this kind of notification in group policies.
