Handling Symantec AntiVirus clients with intermittent connectivity
If the new client configuration is not immediately received by the parent server
or by the client, the information is updated during the client check-in.
To modify the client expiration interval
1 On the parent server, locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\
CurrentVersion directory
2 On the Edit menu, click New > DWORD Value.
3
Name the value as follows:
ClientExpirationTimeout
4 Right-click the new key, and then click Modify.
5 In the Value Data box, replace the 0 with a number greater than 0.
Without the use of the ClientExpirationTimeout value, the default time is
720 hours. Use a smaller value to decrease the number of minutes that it
takes for the client to be removed from the console, or use a larger value to
increase the time. For example, if a large number of your client computers
are being removed from the Symantec System Center because people are
away from the office and their computers are turned off, you can specify a
larger number.
6 Click OK.
7 Exit Regedit.
To modify the client check-in interval
1 In the Symantec System Center console, right-click a server, server group, or
client group, and then click All Tasks > Symantec AntiVirus > Virus
Definition Manager.
2 In the Virus Definition Manager dialog box, check Update Virus Definitions
From Parent Server.
3 Click Settings.
4 In the Update Settings dialog box, in the Check for updates every box, type
the interval in minutes.
5 Click OK until the main Symantec System Center console window appears.
