Hi,
To convert the Symantec Endpoint Protection clients to unmanaged after they have been installed as managed
1.Locate the Sylink.xml file that is located on the installation media in the SEP folder.
2.Copy the Sylink.xml file to a location that is accessible to clients on the network.
3.In the install media, navigate to \TOOLS\NOSUPPORT\SYLINKDROP.
Run SylinkDrop.exe on each Symantec Endpoint Protection client that needs to be converted to an unmanaged client. Additionally in SEP 12.1, you can import the Sylink.xml file from within the client interface by clicking Help, then Troubleshooting, then clicking on Import under Communication Settings.
4.To prevent the client from switching back to managed, ensure that the sylink.bak file on the SEP client is deleted

Hello,
To convert the Symantec Endpoint Protection clients to unmanaged after they have been installed as managed
Run SylinkDrop.exe on each Symantec Endpoint Protection client that needs to be converted to an unmanaged client. Additionally in SEP 12.1, you can import the Sylink.xml file from within the client interface by clicking Help, then Troubleshooting, then clicking on Import under Communication Settings.
Note
If the communication mode was not set for Client Control in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager policies during initial installation, you will not be able to change the local client policies after placing the new Sylink.xml file on the client.
This procedure changes the managed client to an unmanaged client, but will not change the policies that exist on the client. Ensure that you have the ability to change settings and run LiveUpdate on the client before changing the client to unmanaged. If you change the client to unmanaged without ensuring that you can change settings on the client , you may need to uninstall and then reinstall the client if you need to change settings in the future.

I would just enable location awareness on the group the client resides in. So when the client can reach the SEPM it takes it's updates from there, when it can't reach the SEPM it switches location to allow the client go out to liveupdate directly.
Hi,
If converting them to unmanaged by changing Sylink.xml then it's important that roaming client will have the same policy as managed clients.
