SAV Phone Home
Posted in Geekery on July 29th, 2006If you’re like me and have ever had a problem where your Symantec Corporate Edition clients have either ceased speaking to the server or you’ve had to migrate servers, have no fear – I have a solution to your woes.
The Symantec website has almost all of this information, but they don’t give you an easy example of how this can be done, they merely hint at it. The cure is to copy the Grc.dat file and the xxx.x.servergroupca.cer file to the client, in two different locations. The next time the client goes to check in, it will redirect itself and you’re home free. Simple, but damned annoying if you have say, 30-some-odd clients that need these files. The trick is to use a login script (assuming you have a domain running these clients.) Here’s how I did it.
