So we've run into a situation where our users on travel (they are not administrators on their own laptops), cannot connect to our VPN until SEP has a recent set of definitions. While I do have an "off site" location awareness policy that directs them to the Symantec LiveUpdate servers, it seems as though the LiveUpdate process does not happen very quickly, and I like a method to jump start the LiveUpdate process on demand. I believe that SepLiveUpdate.exe will not launch as a non-administrative user, so that's out.
Options I've thought of are to set a scheduled task that runs SepLiveUpdate.exe (as the Local System account) upon logon (maybe with a 5 minute delay). Or maybe to utilize SCCM to kick off SepLiveUpdate.exe.
Does anyone one have an idea as to how a non-administrative user could manually kick off the LiveUpdate process?
Thanks for your time,
