Setting the default client heartbeat interval

Setting the default client heartbeat interval

The client heartbeat interval determines the frequency that update messages are sent by each client computer to the Symantec Ghost Console. You can change the frequency to reduce network traffic. This can be useful if computers are networked over a WAN.

The default interval set in the Symantec Ghost Console is used for all client computers, unless specifically overridden by the settings for subnet or client.
