You may or may not have noticed how there is now a PKI folder in your VPHOME share on the server.
This folder contains the certificates that Symantec Antivirus uses for communicating between the primary server, secondary server(s) and client(s).

In the past, when your server would go belly-up, it would be a simple matter of reinstalling your server and giving it the same IP-address and Netbios name. This is no longer the case in Symantec Antivirus 10! If you lose your primary server and you did not backup your PKI folder... well OOPS! That will be a pain when you have a couple of thousand (or even a few dozen) clients/servers.

A MUST read:
