You can automate client installations using the logon scripts that the Symantec
AntiVirus server installation program copies to each Symantec AntiVirus
server.
When users who are enabled to run the script log on to a protected server, the
script calls a program to check the version number of the client that is currently
available on the server. If the client version on the server is earlier than the
client version on the user's hard disk, or if the client is not installed on the user's
hard disk, the client setup program runs for the platforms that you specify.
The server setup program creates a logon group (SymantecAntiVirusUser) on
NetWare servers, which simplifies setting up users to run the scripts.
To configure client installation at logon, do the following:
Use the Symantec System Center to set update options and enable updates.

See "Setting logon script options in the Symantec System Center"
page 137.
Use your network administration tools to associate users with the logon
■
script. For Windows logon scripts, you must also copy files from the
Symantec AntiVirus server to the netlogon share.
See "Associating users with the logon script"
In the Symantec System Center, you configure the installation actions that you
want to occur when the user logs on to the client computer.
