Updating NetWare servers using the Virus Definition
Transport Method
Updating a NetWare server is similar to updating other types of servers with the
following differences:
You can designate a NetWare server as the primary server for your network,
■
or designate a Windows NT/2000 computer as the primary server. If your
NetWare servers are running on faster computers or have a higher
bandwidth connection than your Windows NT/2000 servers, you can
designate a NetWare server as a primary server for increased performance.
NetWare primary servers must have TCP/IP and FTP running (FTP is not
■
enabled by default on NetWare servers), and must be able to connect to the
Internet. In addition, NetWare environments require a Windows NT/2000
computer to run the Symantec System Center console.
NetWare servers do not store the addresses of Windows NT/2000 servers in
■
their address caches. As a result, if your NetWare server is not running TCP/
IP and is not using a domain naming system (DNS) server, you might have
difficulty updating a NetWare server from a Windows NT/2000 server that
resides in a different server group.
