AVG DataCenter  
The AVG DataCenter is a database that all AVG clients as well as the AVGADMIN program 
communicate with.  AVGADMIN accesses the AVG DataCenter to centrally define AVG Anti Virus 
settings and system parameters. AVG clients connect to the AVG DataCenter to read the set up 
parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and test results. 
The communication is possible only if the AVG Remote administration component is properly installed 
on all workstations, and connected to the AVG DataCenter.  
AVG DataCenter contains an implemented SQL database, or it can be attached to a separate database 
server running either on the same or another computer within the local network. 
Attention: 
Particular database engines can serve only limited number of computers connected. For example, the 
Firebird database intergrated into the AVG Remote Administration installation package can server up 
to 200 computers. If you want to manage more computers, you have to install Microsoft SQL Server or 
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine   they can server over or up to 1000 stations 
respectively. Use the 
AVG DataCenter Setup Wizard
 then to configure the selected database engine. 
7.1 AVG DataCenter Modes 
The AVG DataCenter can run in two modes: 
a)
AVG DataCenter Monitoring Mode 
If you select the AVG DataCenter Monitoring mode, all centrally defined configuration settings 
specified by the administrator are transferred to the AVG clients only once (however, the shared 
settings are always transferred, and the end user has no possibility of editing them). Then, all AVG 
clients are allowed to modify their own configuration settings, and the configuration modifications are 
transferred back to the AVG DataCenter. The administrator is thus able to view the current 
configuration of all AVG clients. If necessary, the administrator can change the configuration at any 
time. Any configuration change carried out by the administrator is always prior to the AVG client user 
configuration change. However, once the administrator's new configuration is transferred to the AVG 
client, the end user is allowed to change it again. 
b)
AVG DataCenter Mandatory Mode 
If you select the AVG DataCenter Mandatory mode then all users are prevented from performing 
any changes in the AVG client configuration. All configuration settings defined by the administrator 
(using the AVGADMIN) are automatically transferred to the AVG client, and these settings overrule 
any user settings. The administrator can also use the AVG DataCenter Monitoring mode and 
specify exact values that will be taken as  voluntary , i.e. the end user will be allowed to change these 
values. 
7.2 AVG DataCenter Setup Wizard 
The AVG DataCenter Setup Wizard is launched after the installation of AVGADMIN 7.1. It can also be 
launched any time later using the setupdc.exe command in the AVG TCP Server program directory. 
The AVG DataCenter Setup Wizard guides you through the configuration process of AVG DataCenter 
database on a selected database engine. Using the wizard, you can also configure AVG TCP Server in 
order to mirror the AVG Anti Virus updates in a local network. The wizard leads you through the 
configuration process in a few steps listed in the following overview. 
Note: 
Navigation in the wizard is as usual: 
  
The Back button takes you one step back in the wizard.
