To enable the update mirroring (centralized update) support, please run the AVG Admin Server Deployment Wizard from menu Start - Programs - AVG 8.5 Remote administration.
On the second page of the wizard select both DataCenter role and UpdateProxy role, then proceed further with the wizard:

  • you can backup your current database, although its contents will not be affected in any way
  • select Keep existing DataCenter database
  • specify which folder you wish to use for storing the downloaded update files on the server
  • adjust or confirm the order of the update servers - this configuration will be transferred to the clients once the wizard is completed
    • the order of the servers specifies their priority - if one is not available, the next one is used
    • the central update files will be available at http://[server_name_or_IP]:4158/avgupdate
  • click Deploy to store all the settings and restart the AVG Admin Server automatically

From now on, the clients will be able to update from this AVG Admin Server. In case of any problems, you can test the availability of the AVG Admin Server by opening the following website from one of the clients:
http://[server_name_or_IP]:4158/

Note:

In case you wish to use only the UpdateProxy function of the AVG Admin Server, please:

  • skip the DataCenter role settings
  • set the clients manually (or using another DataCenter / AVG Admin Server) to update from the server http://[server_name_or_IP]:4158/avgupdate
