How client computers receive content updates
Your client computers automatically download virus definitions and other security
content updates from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. You can also allow
them to use LiveUpdate over the Internet to download security definitions and
other product updates directly from a Symantec LiveUpdate server when they do
not have access to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager server. Enabling
a computer to use LiveUpdate over the Internet is especially useful if you have
users who travel with portable computers. If the computers connect intermittently
or not at all to your network, have them update directly from a Symantec
LiveUpdate server over the Internet. The client computers continue to get content
directly from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager when on the company
network. That method is the most efficient method of delivery and conserves
company network bandwidth.
Note:
Mac client computers get updates only from an external LiveUpdate server.
Only Windows client computers can get updates from the management server.
The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager LiveUpdate schedule settings are
defined in the Server Properties on the Admin page. The LiveUpdate client
computer schedule settings are defined in the LiveUpdate policy.
