server packages all client group settings into the client group configurations
file, and then copies it to each secondary server in the server group. The
secondary server rolls out the settings to the clients that it manages.
See the
Symantec AntiVirus
Reference Guide
for information about
configurations files.
Moving clients in client groups
You can move clients from one client group to another using a drag-and-drop
operation. Once you move the client, it receives the new client group’s
configuration settings.
