    You need to create a Location awareness policy so that when clients go off the network, they switch to a location/policy which is configured to get updates from Symantec Liveupdate.

    What version of SEP are you on, 11.x or 12.1?\

    This KBA applies to 12.1

    Its pretty simple. Configuring a LiveUpdate policy to "Use a LiveUpdate server" any apply this policy to the groups of users which travels out of their corporate netwrok.

    Internal or External LiveUpdate Server
    • Use the default management server (recommended)

      Downloads the updates from the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, and this setting is recommended for most organizations. This option is the simplest and requires no configuration other than applying this policy to a group.

       
    • Use an alternate LiveUpdate server

      Downloads the updates from either the Default Symantec LiveUpdate server over the Internet, or from an internal LiveUpdate Server. You can use and specify multiple internal LiveUpdate servers for failover support.
       

    If both options are enabled, clients try to retrieve updates from both sources. Typically, do not enable both options unless you have a specific reason. If the management server provides named update versions to clients, and the clients have previously downloaded the latest updates from a LiveUpdate server, the clients do not download and install the named (previous) versions.
