In a simple scenario, each client computer on your account has a direct connection to the 
Internet and checks for new updates. 
„
 enables all computers in a workgroup to share downloaded files, which 
controls Internet traffic and minimizes expensive downloads. 
„
 enables any computer on the network to get information 
from the update site, even if that computer does not have an Internet connection, as long as 
at least one computer on the network is configured as a relay server. 
Retrieving updates 
Five minutes after a client computer starts, and at regular intervals throughout the day, the 
Enforced Client client software checks if updates are available. If they are, the client computer 
pulls them from another computer on the network (via 
) or downloads them 
directly from the Internet site.
