  • 1.  Live Update for Laptop group from Internet directly bypassing my SEPM server.

    Posted Jan 16, 2012 11:28 PM

    Hi ,

    I want to create a policy for the Laptop Client for LiveUpdate as many of the user will be travelling and they will be not able to communicate to my SEP server for definition. Hence I want to create a LiveUpdate policy for this user so that once they are connected to internet the SEP should take updates from Internet directly bypassing my SEPM server.

     

     

    Regards

    Santhosh Reddy

    Hi,

    Better is you create one group for laptop roaming users.

    In that you create two policies:-

    1. In location update thru sepm.

    2. Out of location.

    Location awareness will help you.

    You can use the documents mentioned above. The location conditions should be in IP range,

    1. if it is a private IP inside the network - the update can happen via SEPM

    2, If the IP is public - the update can happen via internet.

    two different LU policies for different locations. This will help you.
