Question/Issue:
This document discusses what Symantec System Center does and how to configure some of the most common settings.

Solution:
This walk-through of the most common settings in Symantec System Center assumes that you have the System Center, its snap-ins, and at least one Symantec AntiVirus server installed. If you do not see some of the menus mentioned here, it is possible that you do not have the proper snap-ins installed. For assistance with installing snap-ins, read Cannot find Symantec AntiVirus configuration menu after installing Symantec System Center.
