Renaming server groups

Selecting a primary server for a server group

You can rename server groups as necessary.
To rename a server group
1
In the Symantec System Center console, in the left pane, unlock the server
group that you want to rename, if necessary.
2 Right-click the server group, and then click Rename.
3 Type the new server group name.
When you select a server group object in the Symantec System Center console
and set options, the settings are saved to the primary server in the server group.
Other servers in the server group will also use the new configuration.
You must specify which server in the server group is the primary server. No
server is specified as the primary server by default. Until you designate a
primary server, you cannot perform some Symantec product management
operations.
Computers that are running any of the following operating systems can be
primary servers:
Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server/Professional
■
Windows XP Professional
■
Windows NT 4.0 Server/Workstation
■
NetWare Server
■
The primary server plays an important role, so select a stable server that is
always running.
