Symantec AntiVirus server installation options
If you do not want to provide users with administrative rights to their own
computers, use the NT Client Install tool to remotely install Symantec AntiVirus
client to computers that are running supported Windows operating systems. To
run the NT Client Install tool, you must have local administrative rights to the
computers to which you are installing the program.

The computers on which you install Symantec AntiVirus server will be added to
a single server group. You can create additional server groups from the
Symantec System Center console and use a drag-and-drop operation to populate
them.
When you install Symantec AntiVirus server, the setup program copies files to
the selected Windows NT-based computers. Then a second setup program
(Vpremote.exe), which requires no user input, runs on the computer to create
and start Symantec AntiVirus services and modify the registry.
The installation program installs Symantec AntiVirus NLMs to the supported
NetWare servers that you select and installs services to the supported Windows
computers that you select.
