Force Update from Symantec Liveupdate Server

[George_Kotsieri]

Hello.

I have a SBS 2008 server and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business 12.1 installed for 15 clients. My problem is that all clients are at an other city an we work with vpn. I have noticed that a had a big problem with clients trying to work because a big amount of traffic was used from antivirus trying to get new definitions from management server i suppose, so I am using a program to limit the bandwith antivirus uses. Is there a way to configure clients to update through Symantec liveupdate server and not my management server? (I cannot see many options in Liveupdate policy...)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer.

I don't have the option "Use the default management server (recommended)".

My only option (which is strange...) at Liveupdate policy is "Enable Liveupdate Scheduling" which was checked by defalult.

Is it because it is Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business?

Also it says at the description problem "when clients are disconnected from the network"

I want this to happen always no matter if they are connected or not.

Hi,

Are you using Small business Edition ?

If yes you can Install unmanaged client.
