Sorry if this isn’t in the right forum category.
We have an environment with a 2003 sbs server, plus 9 xp pro computers, and 1 xp home computer. The xp home computer is the only computer with an internet connection. I’ve been reading the manual, but I don’t understand how to use mirrors.
I assume that the ams on the 2003 sbs has one mirror. I’ve also installed a second mirror on the xp home machine (which is the only internet connected computer).
I know I can create an auxiliary task for “Synchronize 2nd level mirror”. This will synch the main 2003 sbs mirror with the 2nd mirror on the xp home computer, right? Do I enter the xp home computer on the “Computers” tab?
I assume the 2nd xp home mirror will download updates from avast. Then the 2 mirrors (2003 & xp home) will synchronize. Then the client computers can download updates from the main 2003 mirror. Some ascii art …
Avast.com → XP Home Mirror → 2003 Mirror → client computers
However, how do I schedule the 2nd xp home mirror so it keeps downloading updates from the avast website? Do I just use a windows task scheduler to run the mirror.exe as a scheduled task?
Is there a GUI that I can use to manage the 2nd xp home mirror?
Basically, I need schooled on how to use the mirrors.
