152 Updating virus definitions files
Updating virus definitions files on Symantec AntiVirus servers
Configure a primary server to retrieve the latest virus definitions files updates; you can download through FTP or
another computer. Enable virus definitions file sharing so that Symantec AntiVirus servers in server group A
automatically retrieve the latest updates from primary server 1. Clients automatically receive the updates from their
parent servers. Configure primary server 2 to retrieve the latest update from primary server 1. This makes primary
server 1 a master primary server. Symantec AntiVirus servers in server group B receive updates from their primary
server. Clients automatically receive updates from their Symantec AntiVirus servers.
