Endpoint Protection

Hi.

I'm runn SEP 11 on a server in location 1 with about 5 clients on the LAN and everyting works great!

We have a second location with 2 desktops.  I tried installing those with a managed installation, but they wouldn't connect to liveupdate to get new network threat protection, antivirus, etc. definitions.  I think they were trying to connect to the server at location 1, but that server doesn't have a static IP and even if it did I'm not really sure how I'd configure it. 

So issue 1 is how do I deal with those 2 systems at location 2.  Do I create an installation for them that is "Unmanaged" and then just deal with maintenance on them by hand basically?  Do I make a new installation that is configured for them to connect to symantec rather than the server for new definintions.  Sorry for the noob questions...

I also have 3 laptops that almost never report in (maybe once every 3-6 months).  Should I deal with them the same way as the off-site desktops?

Thanks!

You have to create unmanaged packages for the 2 remote clients. Or you can create a separate group for them and let the clients manage their own live update same with the laptop, just when creating the package for the laptop enable network protection since then workstations are allways outside your office and not protected by your corporate firewall.
