Symantec Antivirus - Moving one or more clients to a diferent parent server

If you want to move a few clients to a different server, then copy the Grc.dat file from the new parent servers to all the clients that you want to be managed by the new parent server. This can be done through many distribution methods, ie. logon scripts or SMS.

Where to find the Grc.dat file on the parent server

The default location is C:\Program Files\SAV

Where to put the Grc.dat file on the client

  • Windows NT: The default folder location is C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.
  • Windows 2000/2003/XP: The default folder location is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.

Notes: If you want to move the clients to a different parent server and also add them to a specific client group, use the Grc.dat file from the directory C:\Program Files\SAV\Groups\<groupname>, where <groupname> represents the name of the client group.
