88 Migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus Client migration When clients are migrated from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus, the folder to which that version is installed is used. Note: When migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus, migrate servers before you migrate clients. Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 client migrations There are several recommended methods for migrating Windows NT-based clients, as follows: ■ Use a logon script. If this method is used, the users will need to have local administrator rights to the Windows computer with which they are logging on. ■ Use the NT Client Install tool. The NT Client Install tool removes the necessity of users having local administrator rights and logging on. The administrator running the NT Client Install tool must have administrator rights to the domain to which the client computers belong. You can run the NT Client Install tool from the Symantec System Center console. Use the Tools menu and click NT Client Install or run Ntremote.exe directly from the \Rollout\NTClient folder on the Symantec AntiVirus CD. ■ Have users execute Setup.exe (or Setup.exe /s /v/qn for a silent installation) directly from the Vphome\Clt-inst\Win32 folder on their assigned parent server. If this method is used, the users need to have local administrator rights to the computer to which they are installing. In each case, automatic migration from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus occurs. Also, the clients inherit the policy that was set on the parent server. See "Client installation methods" on page 130. Note: If the Symantec AntiVirus user interface (Vpc32.exe) is open when you try to install Symantec AntiVirus, the migration and installation stop on the client. Windows 98/Me client migrations There are two recommended methods for migrating Windows 98/Me clients: ■ Use a logon script. ■ Have users execute Setup.exe (or Setup.exe /s /v/qn for a silent installation) directly from the Vphome\Clt-inst\Win32 folder on their destined parent server.

Migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus
Client migration
When clients are migrated from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus, the
folder to which that version is installed is used.
Note:
When migrating to the current version of Symantec AntiVirus, migrate
servers before you migrate clients.
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 client migrations
There are several recommended methods for migrating Windows NT-based
clients, as follows:
■
Use a logon script. If this method is used, the users will need to have local
administrator rights to the Windows computer with which they are logging
on.
■
Use the NT Client Install tool. The NT Client Install tool removes the
necessity of users having local administrator rights and logging on. The
administrator running the NT Client Install tool must have administrator
rights to the domain to which the client computers belong. You can run the
NT Client Install tool from the Symantec System Center console. Use the
Tools menu and click NT Client Install or run Ntremote.exe directly from the
\Rollout\NTClient folder on the Symantec AntiVirus CD.
■
Have users execute Setup.exe (or Setup.exe /s /v/qn for a silent installation)
directly from the Vphome\Clt-inst\Win32 folder on their assigned parent
server. If this method is used, the users need to have local administrator
rights to the computer to which they are installing.
In each case, automatic migration from earlier versions of Symantec AntiVirus
occurs. Also, the clients inherit the policy that was set on the parent server.
See
“Client installation methods”
on page 130.
Note:
If the Symantec AntiVirus user interface (Vpc32.exe) is open when you try
to install Symantec AntiVirus, the migration and installation stop on the client.
Windows 98/Me client migrations
There are two recommended methods for migrating Windows 98/Me clients:
■
Use a logon script.
■
Have users execute Setup.exe (or Setup.exe /s /v/qn for a silent installation)
directly from the Vphome\Clt-inst\Win32 folder on their destined parent
server.
