I want to configure our Symantec Corp 10 so that the clients only update from the parent server and the parent server only updates once a day in the middle of the night. However, I am confused where exactly I should configure this. I have created a client group and associated my workstations with that client group. Do I specify that they should update fromt the parent server by:
1. right click the parent server, all tasks,symantec antivirus,virus definition manager
2. right click the client folder, all tasks,symantec antivirus,virus definition manager
1 or 2....or both?

what chatxfalcon suggested is correct.
Assuming all the machines are part of the same parent server then you need to open symantec system console then go to the parent server and go to virus definitions manager. there you can set up how the clients retrieve
There you will be able to set the virus definition interval for server and and the clients and the server.
If you have multiple groups then you will need to tailor each group to your liking.
Note its better if you have groups and schedule the virus defs to be retrieved at different times to avoid to much network traffic
