Adding member machines to an anti-virus domain

Member machines are all the machines in the anti-virus domain, excluding the
Management Server.
Member machines can do the following tasks:
• They can receive commands to start an on-demand scan.
• They can send alerts back to the Management Server when on-demand or
on-access scans find viruses.
• In addition to the Management Server, Windows NT member machines
can also generate e-mail, pager, or SNMP messages when they receive an
alert via Alert Manager.

NET CONFIG SERVER /HIDDEN:YES), and

client installed.
