I remember people installing SAV 10 via GPO ( http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH101395 ) - but a lot of times the consoles themselves have features to enable automatic deployment based on criteria you specify, sometimes allowing you a lot more granularity than the GPO method. Unfortunately my rustiness in this area means I can't remember any that have these features :-(
