We're running an MS Workgroup network, six desktops XP Pro, eight tablets XP tablet edition. All had their client software installed remotely from the primary server OK. Our problem is getting the updates and schedules to distribute automatically to the client devices. Using v10.

See p.5 Symantec "Getting Started": (maybe available online)
To permit remote software installation on Windows XP Computers
Need to set local security policy, local policies, security options
Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
Change from: Guest only - local users authenticate as Guest
To: Classic - local users authenticate as themselves.

Applies to computers installed in a workgroup not domain.
Also found need for "matching" admin accounts when doing ClientRemoteInstall (see p.7)

I'm still trying to figure out how to manage the clients from the primary server in particular "AutoUpdate" their virus definitions etc. Lots to learn here!

Hope this helps! - Steve Blay
