    Hi ,

     

    we are pushing the intelligent updater through our SCCM server.We need to know the registry path after installing the Intelligent updater.

     

    How do we ensure that the intelligent updater has been installed successfully.Though i get a message after installing it ,but i need to know the registry path to confirm my SCCM team.

     

    Regards,

    the Intelligent updater is used to update the client definition.

    this entry of the registry should provide information you looking for. or are you looking at other setting?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs

    DEFWATCH_10

    The value will be some like C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SYMANT~1\VIRUSD~1\20090907.050

    Hello,

    any particular reason for doing that? Are not those target systems managed by a SEPM?

    Hello,

    You can Enable third-party content management from the Liveupdate Policy.

    This Enables third-party tools such as Microsoft SMS to provide updates to client computers securely.

    To use this feature, you must set up the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to use as a staging server for content. This staging server does not require that the clients be connected to it. Configure the server to download updates on a periodic schedule. If you use continuous, the server downloads the latest updates when they are posted.

    By default, the updates appear in the Default group's clients' content outbox folders. These folders are organized by content type. You can then pick up one or more content packages from the content outbox folder and deliver it to the client's inbox folder.

    To ensure that only third-party management tools update client computers, disable the other LiveUpdate server options on this page.

    Note: Third-party content management settings are applied to Windows clients only.
