Verifying Network Access And Privileges - Symantec 10551441 - AntiVirus Corporate Edition Installation Manual

Verifying network access and privileges

To create a text file with IP addresses to import
1
In a text editor (such as Notepad), create a new text file.
2 Type the IP address of each computer that you want to import on a separate
line.
For example:
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
You can comment out IP addresses that you do not want to import with a
semicolon (;) or colon (:). For example, if you included addresses in your list
for computers that are on a subnet that you know is down, you can comment
them out to eliminate errors.
3 Save the file to a location that you can access when you run the server
installation program.
Review the following before installing the Symantec AntiVirus server program:
The computer that you use to run the Symantec AntiVirus server
■
installation program should have the appropriate network clients and
protocols running (IP and IPX/IPX). This allows you to see all of the NetWare
and Windows NT computers on which you want to install Symantec
AntiVirus.
Sharing must be enabled on the Windows NT computer on which you install
■
Symantec AntiVirus server. The installation program uses the default NT
shares such as c$ and admin$. When you install Windows NT, these shares
are enabled by default. If you changed the share names or disabled sharing
to the default shares, the installation program cannot complete the
Symantec AntiVirus server installation.
If you log on to a Windows NT/2000 domain and are put into a regular
■
domain group without administrator rights over the local computer, you
cannot install.
To reestablish the credential with the local computer
At the command prompt, type the following:
◆
net use \\machinename\ipc$/user:username password
Use this command to install if you are a local administrator with a different
password than the domain administrator.
The rights that you need to install to server and client computers depend on the
server platform and version.
