  • 1.  How To Force Policy Change?

    Posted Nov 02, 2009 01:15 PM
    Hi.

    Once a policy is changed for a location is there a way to immediately apply the change or does one need to wait for the heartbeat interval for policy to implement?

    Thanks.

    To immediately force the clients to take the policy change or updates

    you can right click on any group and click on update content

    that will force the clients to get the updates ;)

    select any group /click

    select RUN command on clients

    click on update content

    that would do the job...need not have to wait for the heart beat to happen

    just to mention
    you can have the  same command run under Monitor tab
    click on monitor
    select the log type as computer status
    click on view log
    now select the computer on which you want to update the policy
    select the command ( update content, will update virus defs and also policy)
    and click start

     The order in which commands and actions are processed on the client differs from command to command. Regardless of where the command is initiated, commands and actions are processed in the same way.

    For information about the options you can set when you run commands, in the console on the Logs tab, you can click Tell me more. Clicking Tell me more displays the context-sensitive Help or else refer page no 100 of the installa guide , I'm running on MU5

    Also for individual clients, right-click on the symantec icon in the system tray and click on POLICY REFRESH>
