How settings propagate The method that Symantec AntiVirus uses to propagate settings depends upon the item that you choose in the Symantec System Center console. Table 1-4 describes how settings propagate when you choose server groups, servers, and clients. Table 1-4 How settings propagate from the Symantec System Center console Object Description Server groups When you set options at the server group level, and then click OK, the Symantec System Center topology service communicates directly with the primary server and only overwrites the settings that you change. If you click Cancel, no options change. The primary server updates other servers in the server group through a temporary Grcgrp.dat file, and only overwrites the settings that you change. Parent servers update their clients by rolling out a new Grc.dat file. This file replaces the existing Grc.dat file. Custom settings in the old Grc.dat file are not retained. Whenever you click Reset All, Symantec AntiVirus overwrites all settings in the dialog box.
