Updating NetWare servers using the Virus Definition Transport Method Updating a NetWare server is similar to updating other types of servers with the following differences: ■ You can designate a NetWare server as the primary server for your network, or designate a Windows NT/2000 computer as the primary server. If your NetWare servers are running on faster computers or have a higher bandwidth connection than your Windows NT/2000 servers, you can designate a NetWare server as a primary server for increased performance. ■ NetWare primary servers must have TCP/IP and FTP running (FTP is not enabled by default on NetWare servers), and must be able to connect to the Internet. In addition, NetWare environments require a Windows NT/2000 computer to run the Symantec System Center console. ■ NetWare servers do not store the addresses of Windows NT/2000 servers in their address caches. As a result, if your NetWare server is not running TCP/ IP and is not using a domain naming system (DNS) server, you might have difficulty updating a NetWare server from a Windows NT/2000 server that resides in a different server group.
