To roll back virus definitions files 1 In the Symantec System Center console, right-click a server or server group, and then click All Tasks > Symantec AntiVirus > Virus Definition Manager. 2 In the Virus Definition Manager dialog box, ensure that Update The Primary Server Of This Server Group Only is selected, and then click Configure. 3 In the Configure Primary Server Updates dialog box, click Definition File. 4 In the Select Virus Definition File dialog box, select the virus definitions file that you want to roll back to, and then click Apply. 5 Click Yes to change the current file. 6 Click OK until you return to the Symantec System Center main window. Testing virus definitions files Many administrators prefer to test virus definitions files on a test network before making them available on a production server. To test virus definitions files, complete the following tasks: ■ Install Symantec AntiVirus server to a primary server on the test network. ■ From the primary server on your test network, run LiveUpdate to download the virus definitions file. ■ Go to www.eicar.org and download the antivirus test file to test the operation of the virus definitions file. ■ Once testing is complete, copy the virus definitions file from the \Program files\Sav folder on the test server to a folder with the same name on the primary servers on your production network. ■ Once the virus definitions files are on the primary servers, they will flow to other servers in the server group. Note: Clients are configured to automatically retrieve virus definitions from their parent servers if Update Virus Definitions From Parent Server in the Virus Definition Manager dialog box is checked.
