Hello Rafeeq -

Vikram posted some registry tweaks for the SEPM Client.  It looks like I can set EnableProductUpdates to 1 to allow the unmanaged clients to get product updates directly via LliveUpdate.

I'm assuming that this is the registry setting that the SEPM LiveUpdate Settings Policy "Automatic Product Upgrades" (P. 126 SEPM Admin. guide) sets.

I'm going to try this - if it works it will be a great solution for me. 

Here's the link to the registry tweaks.

Thanks for your reply.

I am referring to Symantec's LiveUpdate server.   The unmanaged clients get their virus definition updates directly from Symantec by default without having to go through LiveUpdate Administrator.

So, what I'm trying to do is set the unmanaged clients to get their product updated directly from Symantec (manual LiveUpdate) without going through LUA.  

I think you're telling me I can use LUA to generate the appropriate settings to enable an unmanaged client to download product updates directly from Symantec rather than from LUA.   I seem to remember reading somewhere that the product updates will come from Symantec as MSP files.  If they come through LUA they are delivered as microdefs.

I also think there are some setting in SEPM to manage the product updates.   I'll have to dig a little further.

Thanks for your input.

Latest update...

I found this registry tweak posted by you in the forum - on my unmanaged clients, it looks like I can set EnableProductUpdates to 1 without having to use LUA or SEPM.  This appears to be the far simpler route.

Hi Vikram,

so is this a work around if somehow 64 bit client is having problem with push install from the SEP Mgr ?

if yes then it is good to know.
