I m not sure whether this work or not..

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/an...

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

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....

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

And follow

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

No there will be no problem

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.

 No you won't have any issues

 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.
