How to Add a Server on a Symantec Endpoint

The Symantec Endpoint application is a suite of software that provides firewall, antivirus and backup protection for your computer's data. The Enterprise version of this software uses collaboration services, which means you can synchronize several servers with the Endpoint software installed. If you add a server to your network, you must add the server's name to your original server configurations to synchronize the two computers for backup processes.

Instructions

1. Double click the Endpoint software icon in your server's system tray. This opens the main console window. Click the "Policies" button in the main window.

2. Click "Policy Components." Click "Management Server Lists." This lists all the currently configured servers for the Endpoint software. Click the "Tasks" tab and then click "Add a Management Server List" to start the new server configurations.

3. Type the name of the server you want to add to your Endpoint list. Click the "Add" button. Type the IP address for the server to allow it to pass through the Endpoint server's firewall. Select a port from the dropdown menu. For most servers, the "HTTP" port is used.

4. Click the "OK" button to save your settings. Notice your newly configured server is displayed in the list of servers available for the Endpoint software. Click the "Close" button to close the console and return it to the system tray.
