    Posted Oct 31, 2012 04:00 PM

    We have 20 to 30 workstations with Symantec Endpoint Protection 11, provided by the US Gov't, installed (unmanaged) that are on a classified network.  Does Symantec have a product that could be purchase that could be installed on our Windows Update Server (for these workstations) that could automatically push antivirus updates to all of the workstations automatically? i.e., similar to the way our Windows Update Server automatically pushes Windows Updates to the workstations automatically?

    You can use a GUP but the clients have to be managed. I'm not aware of another product to do this with unmanaged clients.

    For unmanaged clients you can configure to do liveupdate through internet or you have to manage it to SEPM server.

    "Thumbs Up" to Mithun above, the LUA would be the best option if you needed an internal repository of definitions for unmanaged SEP Clients
