  • 1.  Kick off LiveUpdate by a non-administrative user?

    Posted Jan 10, 2018 03:21 PM

    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,
    -Mike

    Using SCCM

    Create a Desired configuration Managed rule which would run Liveupdate when users are not in particular IP range or not connected to domain..

    Thanks for the reply Rafeeq. I'm not sure if I'll ultimately use this suggestion, but it's a good one nonetheless.

    make a laptop collection, deploy the DCM powershell as per this discussion

    let it run during logon, if not in domain, then run the LU using system account
