SEPM should be able to Update Definitions on Mac clients, like Windows clients
Created: 28 Jun 2010 | 2 comments
Hello,
I noticed that SEP client for Mac can not get its defnitions updates from SEPMs, and they have to either go to Symantec LiveUpdate server or an internal LiveUpdate server. I don't know how difficult it is from the development point of view, or may be windows and mac liveupdate mechnisim are different.
It would be better if SEPM can provides definition updates to mac clients like it does for windows clients, keeping following advantages...
1. Large base of mac client do not have to hit Symantec servers
2. Less traffic across over our ISP line
3. Simplified Liveupdate policies, etc.
Please see if it can be a consideration?
Sincerely

Bump ...this change would be very welcome to many customers using MACs in the environment when the traffic outside the local network is a concern.
