Configuring a LiveUpdate Content Policy

By default, all clients in a group receive the latest versions of all content updates. If a group is configured to get updates from a management server, the clients receive only the updates that the server downloads. If the LiveUpdate Content Policy is configured to allow all updates, but the management server is not configured to download all updates, the clients receive only what the server downloads. What the server downloads is configurable from the Admin pane.

Note:
LiveUpdate Content Policies are not available for Symantec Network Access Control clients.

1. On the console, click Policies.

2. In the View Policies pane, click LiveUpdate.

5. In the Overview pane, in the Policy name box, type a name for the policy.

6. If you configure Symantec Endpoint Protection, in the LiveUpdate Content pane, click Security Definitions.

7. In the Security Definitions pane, check the updates to download and install, and uncheck the updates to disallow.
