Introducing Symantec AntiVirus 25
How Symantec AntiVirus works
The Symantec System Center console is a Microsoft Management Console
(MMC) snap-in. MMC is a common framework with no management
functionality of its own. MMC serves as a central host from which you can run
multiple network and component management applications, such as the
Symantec System Center.
MMC must be installed on a local drive of a Windows NT 4.0 (Workstation or
Server) computer. MMC installs automatically with supported Windows 2000
platforms. When the Symantec System Center is installed on this same
computer, it snaps in to MMC.
Alert Management System console
2
The AMS console is installed to the same computer on which the Symantec
2
System Center console is installed and supports alerts from AMS clients and
2
servers. The AMS console lets you configure alert actions for Symantec
2
AntiVirus servers that have the AMS service installed.
Symantec AntiVirus snap-in
The Symantec AntiVirus snap-in lets you perform management tasks from the
Symantec System Center, including setup and configuration of client and server
groups, event management, and protection updating.
Symantec Client Firewall snap-in
The Symantec Client Firewall snap-in lets you centrally distribute firewall
policy files.
This snap-in is used for client firewall administration, which is not included
with Symantec AntiVirus.
NT Client Install tool
The NT Client Install tool lets you remotely install the Symantec AntiVirus
client to one or more Windows NT-based computers.
AV Server Rollout tool
The AV Server Rollout tool lets you remotely install the Symantec AntiVirus
server to the Windows NT-based servers that you select.
