How to disable automatic push install

Backup Exec 2014. Noticed there are lots of log-files in C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Backup Exec\PushLogs directory. Currently I really don't want Backup Exec to do automatic push installs (which fail). I am in a process of fixing server environment manually and this complicates things.

Don't find anywhere setting to disable this. Maybe it needs registry change but not sure which one. Maybe:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Agents\Auto Discovery Enabled ?

    There is no automatic push of agents to remote servers.  Any push is always manually initiated.

    On the Backup & Restore tab, right-click the remote servers and choose Update. Check if the Install Updates option is set on a recurring schedule or not. If yes, this would automatically push updates.

    Thank you. If recurrence is select last time, how to turn it off? Is it enough to do update again and select "Run now with no recurring schedule"?

    And is there any way ot see list of all recurring schedules (which servers are updated automatically)?

    Yes, it is.

    Probably, the only way I can think of is to check each server manually.
