1) Snag the GRC.DAT file from the Parent Server (this contains all the info on the parent server) and is located:
C:\Program Files\SAV\CLT-INST\WIN32
The SAV folder is also “shared” so everyone can see it for the pushing mechanism to work nicely. You can browse to this folder as well and drill down to the file. The GRC.DAT is unique to each server, so only grab the one for the server you need.
Note: Either save the file to a common place or from the client browse to this location
2) On the client, drop the GRC.DAT file in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5
3) Either reboot the PC or just restart the Symantec AV service. (restarting the service is quicker) If the later, shortly after restarting, the file will disappear and the client will be reconfigured to point to the new Server. Re-open the client to confirm. If it doesn’t show up right away…give it a min or two…look again. If still not there…reboot.
Once pointed to the right server, you should then be able to upgrade their software by re-pushing from the Ltd server to the client. I say this since the GRC.DAT also has the PKI security that links the client to the server and now that they match…it should work. Takes 20-30 min after the push for the PC list to update with the “new client” showing up.

Well, I just got done watching the BSG premier of season 4, and I must say I was slightly underwhelmed. Everyone was raving about it on io9, but to me it feels like the writers just don’t care anymore. I know the actors aren’t thrilled with their characters all of a sudden being Cylons, so maybe thats coming through. Also, the continuity of Tigh being a Cylon makes no sense. And the “to be continued” was lame, cause EVERY episode of BSG ends on some sort of cliffhanger, but frankly this one wasn’t that surprising a cliff hanger and I can guess already how it’s gonna turn it out. Here’s hoping the rest of the season improves, but frankly I’m not gonna hold my breath.
I will however be watching because I’m a glutton for punishment.

I’ve been messing around with a way to mark my thumb drive so it will (maybe) be returned if I lose it. Chances are, I won’t actually “lose” it; I will leave it at the house of a friend or at work. But I want to get it back—ASAP—without having to call all over the universe to find it. Of course, the drive is encrypted so i don’t need to worry about data falling into the wrong hands. I only worry about having to rebuild EVERYTHING because I carry my life on my thumb drive.
After trying out a splash screen and a launch.bat file, Jill decided she wanted something simpler and more obvious. She says:
I decided to just label my drive something other than “Removable Disk” and add an eye-catching custom icon to it.
So I created a next text file in Notepad, typed the word:
[autorun]
And saved it to the root directory—the “main” area of your drive, not in a folder—as autorun.inf.
I chose a big yellow smiley face for my icon but any brightly colored, unusual icon will be easily noticed. I copied the icon to the root directory of my thumb drive and renamed it myicon.ico.
Then I opened my autorun.inf file and added this text:
icon = .\myicon.ico
label=My Name (mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx)
(Of course, you will substitute your name and your mobile number for the above text.) I saved the file and marked it “read only” and hid it (just as an added sense of security—a lot of people have not learned how to tweak their “Show hidden folders” settings and, thus, will not be tempted to delete or
edit the file.)
Once I unplugged and re-inserted my thumb drive, it looked like this:
