To remove a computer from the Computer List
1
On the Norton Ghost menu bar, click Computers > Edit List.
2
Select the remote computer that you want to remove, click the minus sign
(-), and then click OK.
Note: Removing a computer from the Computer List does not uninstall the
agent from the computer. You must run your operating system's uninstall
program.
Deploying the agent
You can deploy the Norton Ghost Agent to the computers that are on the Computer
List by using the Agent Deployment feature. After you install the agent, you can
create backup jobs directly from Norton Ghost.
Note: Because of increased security with Windows Vista, you cannot deploy the
Norton Ghost Agent to Windows Vista without making security configuration
changes. The same issue occurs when you attempt to deploy the agent from
Windows Vista to another computer. You can manually install the agent on the
target computer using the product CD.
Note: If you deselected the Agent Deployment option during installation, this
feature is not available. You can run the installation again, and select the Modify
option to add this feature back in.
You can install the agent to a computer that has less than 256 MB of RAM.
However, Symantec Recovery Disk requires at least 512 MB of RAM for restoring
the computer. Your computer must meet the minimum memory requirement to
run the Recover My Computer wizard or the Recovery Point Browser from the
recovery environment.
Note: If you are installing a multilingual version of the product, you must have a
minimum of 768 MB of RAM to run the Symantec Recovery Disk.
If your computers are set up in a workgroup environment, you should prepare
your local computer before you deploy an agent.
