To delete entries from the address cache
1 In the Symantec System Center console, on the Tools menu, click Discovery
Service.
2 Under Cache Information, click Clear Cache Now.
Once you run Discovery after the data import, the correct data is available for
future discovery sessions.
The command line takes four parameters:
Import file path
■
First delimiter
■
Second delimiter
■
Order (1 = computer name/IP address, 2 = IP address/computer name; the
■
default is 1)
Note: The second delimiter needs to be a single character only. For example, the
ampersand cannot be used because the user would have to enter the following:
"&"
For example, an import file named Machines.txt, in C:\MACHINES, could read as
follows:
192.168.3.121/Server 1
192.168.3.122/Server 2
192.168.3.123/Server 3
The above example is in IP address/computer name order (2). The first
parameter is a slash (/) and the second is a linefeed. The corresponding syntax
for the command line would be:
importer C:\MACHINES\Machines.txt / LF 2
After the computer name and IP address pairs are imported, entries are created
in the registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\
CurrentVersion\AddressCache
