To copy the Sylink.xml from the Temporary group folder to the client

1. In Windows Explorer on the computer that runs Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, browse to C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\outbox\agent\.
   In this location, there are two or more folders with 32-character alphanumeric names. Each folder represents a group in your Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager site. Inside of each folder is a file named LSProfile.xml.
   Do not edit LSProfile.xml. Any edits to the LSProfile.xml file is not recommended or supported, and can cause serious communication problems.
2. Open the LSProfile.xml file in one of the group folders, and find the XML tag: 
3. Find which LSProfile.xml file specifies "Temporary" as the group name.
   The folder that contains that file is the folder that represents the Temporary group.
4. In the Temporary group folder there is a file named Sylink.xml. Make a copy of that file and move it to the desktop of the client that you want to be managed.
