    I think it is better to update using jdb file 

    For updating using jdb file you can use below doc

    How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a JDB file

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009072204590148

    you can download rapid release updations from below link

    I m not sure whether this work or not..
    Give a try...

    According to me rapid release updates are available in ftp site...

    ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/rapidrelease/

    so you can write a ftp script to log in to  ftp.symantec.com (anonymous user name password  should work)
    then mget  *.jdb file...

    you have to make sure you will create a ftp script and batch file inside "Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\inbox\content\incoming" folder. Schedule the batch file to run any time you want...

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    create a file rapid_download.scr and put this...(Use notepad to type and save as rapid_download.scr)

    anonymous
    anonymous
    cd "public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/rapidrelease/"
    mget *.jdb
    quit

    create a file Rapid_download.bat and put this.

    @ECHO OFF
    ftp -s:ftp_get.scr ftp.symantec.com
    exit
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    I have not tested.. because i don't have ftp access in out setup... just an idea... you can test it and tell me...

    Hi found this... i think it should work for you after little modification....

    Using a modified Cegetter utility for downloading Rapid Release virus definitions for Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition
    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2004022511314548?Open&docid=2003100110562848&nsf=ent-security.nsf&view=docid 

    I m not able to download the script to modify for you.. .
    But modification in the ftp script(to get jdb instead of xdb) and changing the path to which jdb will be copied should work fine....

    I've posted such a file here that FTPs to Symantec, checks for a later file than it last downloaded, and gets one if it exists.
    Check my uploads area................

    YES, SEPM can be updated from the Rapidrelease.
    Download the jdb from

    ftp://ftp.symantec.com/AVDEFS/symantec_antivirus_corp/rapidrelease


    And follow


    Title: 'How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using the .jdb file'
    Document ID: 2007100820002048
    > Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/docid/2007100820002048?Open&seg=ent

    BUT THIS WILL ONLY UPDATE THE ANITI VIRUS NOT PTP AND NTP

     No you won't have any issues after that...RapidRelease Definitions are mainly for Emergency situation or in a Closed NEtwork ( without internet). So once new definitions will arrive the Liveupdate will download it.

    No there will be no problem with the liveupdate, the Rapid Release is the method of manually updating the SEPM with the latestest defnition in case of a Virus Outbreak  or when there is no connection to the internet.
