    Use psexec remotely:

    PsExec.exe \\computername "C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\smc.exe" -updateconfig

    This forces the client to check in to SEPM.

    To verify communication, enable sylink logging and watch the log for sucessful connections.

    Be careful with using 'Update Content' it forces clients to go out to the Internet to LiveUpdate. If used on many clients at once it's possible it can saturate your Internet link.

    1) This remote control will help me a lot, thank you. Can you tell which commands can I perform remotely? What commands are available to run remote?

     

    2) Can you tell if it is possible to update syslink remotely? I know you have an option for the console, but would you like to know if it has some form on the network? Example, \\ computername ... copy and paste syslink.xml? Or some other way to update syslink

    1.) https://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH103048

    2.) It's possible although some scripting is needed and really not necessary. It can be done from SEPM;
