Endpoint Protection

I currently have a scenario where we need to change the default setting on our LiveUpdate clients from interactive to express mode (i'd also like to tick AutoStart and AutoExit options).Does anyone know how I can change these client settings on-mass ?
Any advice would be appreciated.

You can change this in the management console policies | LiveUpdate & in the client groups I believe.

I can't get the exact location yet as I'm in the middle of an upgrade to MP1a , I'm sure someone else would be able to provide the exact info tho.

The settings are located in the Settings.LiveUpdate file :

PREFERENCES\EXPRESS_MODE\AUTO_EXIT=YES
PREFERENCES\EXPRESS_MODE\AUTO_START=YES
PREFERENCES\EXPRESS_MODE\ENABLED=YES

There is no setting in the policy for that as the liveupdate is always in express mode when not launched by the user but you can replace the settings.liveupdate for the clients as brav suggested above. This can be done with the help of a very simple script.

::app1.bat
@echo off
FOR /F  %%i in ('type "c:\app\ip.txt"') do call "c:\app\app2.bat" %%i

::app2.bat
@echo off
set x=%1
verify > nul
ping -n 1 -w 3000 %x% |find "Reply" > nul
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 Echo %x% "c:\app\No_Ping.txt" & GOTO :eof
verify > nul
FOR /F  %%i in ('type "c:\app\ip.txt"') do copy "c:\app\settings.liveupdate" "\\%x%\C$\documents and Settings\all Users\application Data\symantec\liveUpdate" /y
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 Echo %x% "c:\app\success.txt" & GOTO :eof
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 Echo %x% "c:\app\fail.txt"


where ip.txt is the list containing the client ip address which you can extract from monitors>logs

tks for ur reponse.
I have tried updating the local "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\1.Settings.Default.LiveUpdate"
and
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Settings.LiveUpdate"

After updating these files, changes are not reflected on the client.
In any case, subsequent policy refreshes overwrite these files:(

If I can set them on the server/console, these should flow down to the Clients upon policy refresh. I can't find the option to set these at the server.

any advice appreciated.
 

Subsequent policy should not overwrite this setting, Can you confirm if that is happening?

Make the changes in the control panel applet for "Symantec Liveupdate". verify it by launching the liveupdate(luall). If it works you have the right settings.liveupdate to be distributed.

Apologies, policy does not overwrite.Settings are correct.
[After an "smc - stop" and readonly flag removal, the above suggestion has worked.]

Thanks Sandeep et al.
