Using the Symantec System Center console, you can select and view the
protection settings for any managed computer that is running Symantec
AntiVirus. Managed computers appear in the right pane of the console when
their parent servers are selected in the tree.
You can establish and enforce the following policies to control the Symantec
AntiVirus user experience:
You can lock configuration settings such as Auto-Protect scanning to ensure
■
that your clients remain protected from viruses at all times.
You can tamper-protect the Windows registry values that Symantec
■
AntiVirus uses, and receive notifications when specific registry keys are
modified. This is the default setting.
You can password-protect server groups so that changes to server and client
■
settings can be made by authorized staff only.
The Symantec System Center console offers basic reporting tools for history and
event log data. Reports are based on Symantec AntiVirus servers, server groups,
or clients. You can specify a time range in which to filter the data that appears in
the report. For example, you might want to view only those scans that ran
within the last seven days. For more complex reports, you can export the data as
a comma-delimited file for use with a third-party reporting tool.
