Scheduling updates in symantec endpoint protection manager

[Anishk]

Hi ,

 

Iam working in an organisation with 300+ branches. The bandwidth utilization goes extremely high on peak hours due to antivrus updation which takes place in those branches. Is ther any way of scheduling the update installation in non-peak hours?
We are using symantec endpoint protection manager 12.1.. and have created 300+ groups for our individual branches.

Thanks,

Hi Ashish,

 

Thanks for the post. But would it work without a live update server?

In our organisation, we onle have a SEP manager 12.1 which is our symatec server.

Please correct me if iam wrong anywhere..

Thanks Ashish.. I was a bit confused with this as i thought it is possible only if we have a seperate Live update server.
