7 Restart the client.
To change a managed client into an unmanaged client
1
Uninstall Symantec AntiVirus from the client workstation.
2 Using the registry editor, delete the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6
3 Reinstall Symantec AntiVirus.
4 When prompted to make the client either managed or unmanaged, choose
unmanaged.
The method that Symantec AntiVirus uses to propagate settings depends upon
the item that you choose in the Symantec System Center console.
Table 1-4 describes how settings propagate when you choose server groups,
servers, and clients.
Table 1-4
How settings propagate from the Symantec System Center console
Object Description
Server groups When you set options at the server group level, and then click OK, the
Symantec System Center topology service communicates directly with
the primary server and only overwrites the settings that you change.
If you click Cancel, no options change.
The primary server updates other servers in the server group through
a temporary Grcgrp.dat file, and only overwrites the settings that you
change.
Parent servers update their clients by rolling out a new Grc.dat file.
This file replaces the existing Grc.dat file. Custom settings in the old
Grc.dat file are not retained.
Whenever you click Reset All, Symantec AntiVirus overwrites all
settings in the dialog box.
