    Hi everybody,

        We have a SEPM 12.1.3001 installed in windows server 2008 R2.  I extract two client packages ( one for managed client and another for unmanaged clients ) .   

    1.   Managed client version is installed in all client systems in LAN ,they get updates from SEPM server .

    2.   unmanaged client version is installed for laptop users , users want SEP to update virus definitions automatically from internet so i have made changes in liveupdate to automatically download definitions from internet . 

    But the laptop is not updating antivirus automatically . i dont want to run liveupdate for downloading virus definitons.

     

    so provide me help to solve the issue

    it is connecting to liveupdate server and downloading updates.there is no problem with updating manually through liveupdate .

    But the user don't want to manually run live update . he is using laptop with 3G datacard for internet

    See mithun comments

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/do-symantec-endpoint-protections-virus-definitions-automatically-update

     if they are UnManaged, the Symantec Endpoint Protection clients have the Following:

    1) Liveupdate Button: Providing the Users a full control when to download the Definitions.

    2) By Default, the Liveupdate also runs itself automatically as shown below

    Mohamed this is more likely a proxy issue.when connected to your corporate network

    You need to set the correct proxy settings in IE, quite possible that your firewall is blocking the connection or resetting the connection to symantec server

    chek if you are able to access these sites from IE

    http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com
    http://liveupdate.symantec.com
    ftp://update.symantec.com

    I see that you have Photon Plus, remove the disconnect from Lan and run via Photon, It wil work without any issue :)

    hi rafeeq ,

          we are not using corporate lan n/w . This laptop is for home users so they use their datacard or home BSNL modems.  i am sure the proxy scripts and proxy address are disabled in internet explorer settings.

    SEP will just use the browser settings to connect. Can you get browse out to the Internet successfully?
