The Symantec Ghost Console reads the client
configuration settings when the client is first detected. These
settings are stored in the Symantec Ghost Console. They are not
updated automatically if the client computer configuration is
changed. This lets you restore the original client configuration
settings if required.
To restore the default configuration settings to a
client, you need to execute a Configuration task on the client
computer. When you set up the Configuration step of the task,
select the Default setting.
Setting
Configuration properties
You can edit the default settings, or copy them to
match those on another computer.
When you apply new configuration settings to a
computer, the last known configuration shown in the computer's
Properties window is not automatically updated. You need to execute
a Configuration Refresh task to read the new configuration from the
computer.
