    About the Configuration Editor tool


    The configuration file (Grc.dat) is the heart of the communication between the following:

    Symantec Client Security server and client Symantec AntiVirus server and client

    Configuration files store important information, such as parent server identity and antivirus server and client configuration settings. You can use the Configuration Editor (Configed.exe) to generate a configuration file that can be used with Symantec Client Security server and client or Symantec AntiVirus server and client. Using the Configuration Editor, you can create various configurations that can be distributed to clients at any time. For example, an administrator of an organization with separate server groups that are set up for departments with different security needs can create a configuration file with different settings for each of the server groups. Note: Creating Grcgrp.dat and Grcgrpl.dat files with the Configuration Editor is not supported.
