Managing Configuration Settings Globally - Symantec PCANYWHERE - ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE V12.5 Administrator's Manual

Managing configuration settings globally

Create a package that includes the product, and then build the package.
Building a package creates a self-extracting .exe file.
See "Building product installations and packages"
Symantec pcAnywhere option sets let you manage global settings for host and
remote connections, file transfer, logging, and other functions to improve
performance, enhance security, or manage connections. Symantec pcAnywhere
lets you create multiple option sets to accommodate unique configuration
requirements.
Preconfigured option sets can be used for custom installation packages created
with Symantec Packager. They can also be used as the default preferences for the
local computer.
Configuring an option set in pcAnywhere
Symantec pcAnywhere groups the option set properties by tabs.
Table 2-4 lists the properties that are available.
