Firstly there is no such feature in Liveupdate or Symantec Antivirus that can detect Internet connection when it gets connected.

But what you can do it ou can notify the usrs to download new definitions once they connect to the internet.

The can launch Liveupdate Manually by either clicing Liveupdate Button

or

By going to Start -- Run -- Luall.exe -s (-s is for silent) If you don't want ti silent just remove -s.

U can create a Windows Schedule Task for LUALL.exe-s.

U can create a schduled of luall with -s switch.

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\symantec\liveupdate\luall.exe" -s

This will run liveupdate silently

You can do this in SEP not sure about SAV.

1) In sep 1st go to controll panel > symantec live update .

here in general choose express mode and select automatically start the session and exit the session.

2) then open endpoint protection from start >  programme files

select change settings.
 "client management" > configure settings > scheduled updates .

here select enable automatic updates and select frequency as contineous.
this will automatically update sep when ever it finds internet connection.

then for  SAV

You can set it to a perticular time of every day.

To do this
in SAV open file > schedule updates .
and set every day  and time.

hope this will help you.

We are running SAVCE v10.1.6.6010. 
I created a Windows Sched Task to run [luall -s] and the task gives a "Last Result" code of "0x1" which Microsoft reports being "An incorrect function was called or an unknown function was called" (found at "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308558"). 
In checking the Log.LiveUpdate file, the task *does* start a LiveUpdate session. 
I also use Sched Tasks to run LiveUpdate Administration Utility and have no such "Last Result" code with those tasks. 
Any ideas/suggestions/etc.??  Thanks. 

 Hi Michael,

What OS are you running? With Windows 7 I can run "%ProgramFiles%\symantec\liveupdate\luall.exe" -s with no problems. Will you try just doing this command from the run box and see if you get the same error. So hit WinKey + R and when the box comes up then type in the command I just stated and it should run liveupdate silently with no problems. If this works please come back and let us know.

Thanks
Grant

Hi, Grant,
I should have mentioned that the machine that I'm trying to get the Sched Task to "behave" on is one of our SAV Parent Servers running SAV Server v10.1.6.6010 and running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, SP2. 
In troubleshooting this before I posted, I was able to successfully run [luall.exe -s] from a Command Prompt and noted in the Log.LiveUpdate that it ran.  (It also ran without the -s switch.) 
The Sched Task runs a BAT file that is:
@echo off
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate"
luall -s
I've also tried the batch file without the [@echo off] line and that made no difference in the "Last Result" code. 
(I also just ran ["c:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\liveUpdate.bat" -s] from a Run box and it ran successfully -- the LiveUpdate session ended with a return code of 100 and there were no new updates.) 
Thanks for your ongoing assistance with this.
What's next?

Michael

 I am sorry Michael that it took me so long to respond, but this post got pushed to the bottom of my list since it is so old (almost a year). This will happen with other users in the forums. Some will even ignore old posts like this as well. Again I apologize but you might find better luck making a completely new thread next time.

All of that aside I am not sure that it is necessarily a problem with kicking off liveupdate specifically. Are you guys using the task manager to start any other executables so we can compare? I made the exact same batch file for my machine (Win 7) and it kicked off liveupdate with the task manager, with no problems. From what I understand the two following conditions must also be true for the script to run:

1. A scheduled task only runs when the user that created it is logged on.
2. A scheduled task will not run if the user uses a blank pasword.

You might want to make sure both these are true and try again. I am sorry again for the slow turnaround.

Grant-

Can we update our client only from LUALL.exe? Without define live update window on SEPM server.

Yes you can do that but you will have to run that manually.

On SEP Client click on the liveupdate button
Login to SEPM go to Admin > Server > Local Site > Download Liveupdate Content.

Start > Run > LUALL.EXE, click OK
