Unlocking server groups in Symantec System Center

About upgrading client software

Upgrading and migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition
If you do not unlock server groups before migration, unpredictable results may
occur. Also, if the roaming service is enabled for clients, the unlocking the server
group helps ensure that the clients properly authenticate to a parent server.
Clients that properly authenticate to a parent server get placed in the database.
Clients that get placed in the database automatically appear in the correct legacy
group in the console after installation.
To unlock a server group
1 In the Symantec System Center, right-click a locked server group, and then
click Unlock Server Group.
2
In the Unlock Server Group dialog box, type the authentication credentials
if necessary, and then click OK.
