About required restarts

Locating servers across routers during installation

The following are a few instances in which a restart is necessary:
2
Installing AMS to a Windows NT computer.
■
Restart the computer after the installation program has completed in order
2
for AMS to run.
Updating Symantec AntiVirus files on a Windows NT computer (for
■
example, when you apply a service release), in which case some files might
be in use.
Restart the computer to replace the older files.
As you install or update Symantec AntiVirus, the installation program displays
a status for each server. The status reports the progress of the installation or
update, alerts you to any errors, and prompts you for any required action. After
an installation or update, if the installation program needs to replace any files
that are in use, the status is Restart necessary for Windows NT computers.
You can browse to find the computers on which you want to install Symantec
AntiVirus server. Computers that are located across routers might be difficult to
find. To verify that you can see a computer when you run the Symantec
AntiVirus server installation program, try mapping a drive to the server using
Windows Explorer. If you can see a computer in Windows Explorer, you should
see the computer when you run the Symantec AntiVirus server installation
program.
Browsing requires the use of the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). For
computers that are located in a non-WINS environment (such as a native
Windows 2000 network that uses the LDAP or DNS protocol), you must create a
text file with IP addresses and then import it to be able to install to those
computers.
Creating a text file with IP addresses to import
You can create a text file of the IP addresses of computers that are located in a
non-WINS, Windows NT-based environment. During installation, you can
import the text file and add the listed computers to the computers on which you
want to install the server program.
Note: The Import feature is designed for use with supported Windows NT-based
operating systems only. It is not intended for use with NetWare.
