Managing Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition
14
Changing a client from unmanaged to
managed protection
For Windows 9x/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP computers, do one of the following
to convert unmanaged Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition clients to
managed clients:
■
Copy the Grc.dat file from the parent server to each client computer
that you want the parent server to manage.
Grc.dat contains data for communication between the server and
client.
■
Reinstall Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition over the existing client
installations by whatever mechanism you use to manage your network
Norton AntiVirus rollout.
The Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition standalone client for Windows 3.x/
DOS is a different program than the managed client. You must uninstall the
standalone client for Windows 3.x/DOS before rolling out the managed
client.
If the Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition standalone client is installed on a
server that you want to migrate to management capabilities, you must first
uninstall the standalone client. You can then install the server version of
Norton AntiVirus as part of your Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition
rollout. You cannot install the server version over an existing standalone
client installation.
