If your enterprise has multiple Symantec Endpoint Protection Managers, you can
create a customized management server list. The management server list specifies
the order in which clients in a particular group connect. Clients first try to connect
to management servers that have been added with the highest priority.
If management servers with the highest priority are not available, then clients
try to connect to management servers with the next higher priority. A default
management server list is automatically created for each site. All available
management servers at that site are added to the default management server list
with the same priority.
If you add multiple management servers at the same priority, then clients can
connect to any of the management servers. Clients automatically balance the load
between available management servers at that priority.
You can use HTTPS protocol rather than the default HTTP for communication.
If you want to secure communication further, you can customize the HTTP and
HTTPS port numbers by creating a customized management server list. However,
you must customize the ports before clients are installed or else the
client-to-management server communication is lost. If you update the version of
the management server, you must remember to re-customize the ports so that
the clients can resume communication.
After you add a new management server list, you must assign it to a specific group
or location or both.
