Hi It is better to be in managed mode. But make a Notebook Group,Virus Definition Manager at Group Level -> Enable Continuous Live Update and configure the number of days.
Once exceed the number of days, it would attempt to contact Live Update servers via Internet at the specified intervals.
Only bad thing is there is no progress bar etc, totally transparent. Normally I configure if more than 7 days, check at 15mins interval . Hope this is helpful. Alvin Chong----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Lopez" <jaylpz () sbcglobal net>

The unmanaged version will allow the laptops (when connected to the internet) go out and reach the live-update server.

We do indeed have a centralized managed server providing updates. The problem is when, a client (say one with a laptop) leaves the office, their updates aren't being regularly pushed. Without liveupdate ability while under user rights, this is extremely troublesome for those who will be on travel for longer than 2-3 weeks (which is often the case here). Thanks for your prompt input, Anthony.

The users would not be able to do live update, but the server would push out updates. -----Original Message----- From: Joe George [mailto:j.george () conservation org] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 1:18 PM To: Bundschuh, Anthony D; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Symantec LiveUpdate and User Rights on Win2000 We do not want them to have power user rights either. -----Original Message----- From: Bundschuh, Anthony D [mailto:ANTHONY.D.BUNDSCHUH () saic com] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 3:13 PM To: 'Joe George'; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Symantec LiveUpdate and User Rights on Win2000 You can add the users to the power users group. Power users can install virus definitions. -----Original Message----- From: Joe George [mailto:j.george () conservation org] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 9:56 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: FW: Symantec LiveUpdate and User Rights on Win2000 Greetings all, We are currently in the process of removing Administrative rights from end users. As you may already know, when someone logs in with only User rights, they are no longer able to install AV definitions through the LiveUpdate feature. This is one of the most crucial things we'd like our clients to be able to access in case they are on travel or working remotely. A Trojan/virus has less of a chance of being initialized under user rights, but it is important that the user be able to maintain the definitions if needed. Is there a tweak out there? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Joe George IT Analyst Conservation International
