Can anyone here help me with liveupdate running in silent mode. For a standard user, how do you get liveupdate to run in silent mode? I am using symantec antivirus corporate edtion. version 10.1, do you set liveupdate to run in silent mode, so that liveupdate can get connect to internet to get virus definitions. Is this the solution to a non admin account not being able to connect to symantec?
thanks for any reply,

If the client is taking the updates from the SSC, then by default it is using liveupdate in Silent Mode.

If you have an individual installation of SAV client, than you can schedule the liveupdate and it will run in silent mode in the background.

hi Aniket,
 
I have installed an individual installation of SAV client on a couple of computers, they are running windows xp sp2, I am using SAV corp. edition 10.1. But when I log into a standard user account and run liveupdate I can't connect to symantec's website to get the updates. So I have users who always get a pop window saying that there virus definitions are out of date.  I have liveupdate scheduled to run at a certian time, but doesn't work because liveupdate is running as the account that is currently logged in. If I log into the admin account and run LUALLE.exe /S  will this command run liveupdate in silent mode for the restricted user account?
thanks
