For example, two domains named Sales_Bld1 and Sales_Bld2 are acceptable
because they are different within the first ten characters, but Sales_Building1
and Sales_Building2 are not acceptable. If necessary, rename one or more
domains. To rename an anti-virus domain, see

Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98 machines

Normally to manage Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98 machines
from the Management Console, you need the following prerequisites.
• A Microsoft networking client installed on the machine
• For share-level access, a share on the Windows directory
• For user-level access, remote administration enabled
To manage machines that have no peer networking, you must first install a
Management Agent to each machine. If you have a large number of machines,
you can use a login script.
When the Management Agent first runs, it determines that it is running on a
Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98 machine and sends the machine's
name to a Name Provider. The Name Provider is a Windows NT service,
which resides on every Management Server. (Each Management Server
manages a single anti-virus domain.) You must provide the Management
Agent with the name of the anti-virus domain so that it can find the correct
Name Provider.
IMPORTANT: You must ensure that all of your anti-virus domain
names are different within the first ten characters to prevent Name
Providers from using the same partial names. Otherwise, duplicate
names will be generated.

IMPORTANT: If you do not pre-configure the name of the anti-virus
domain, the Management Agent prompts for the name at each machine.
If you have a large number of machines, setup can become a
time-consuming task.
