Symantec Administration Console for Macintosh

[#1]

Anyone using SAV Symantec Anti Virus corporate version

We are using Symantec Administration Console for Macintosh and it is a pain.
Does anyone have a way to Kill it and use Casper to insure clients are up to
date.

Thanks
Ricky

No automated method however you can pull sav PKG av updates from here
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/norton_antivirus_ma
c/antivirus_definitions and push them using Casper.. Messy but will work

First, make sure you're using version 1.0.2 of the SACM and 1.0.3 of the
SACM client installer. It comes with the corporate edition of SAV 10.2 and
fixes a lot of problems.

I prefer not to use the SACM for pushing updates. I want to see more
immediate results. Instead I have an ongoing policy in Casper to tell all
Macs to update themselves to our internal LiveUpdate server daily and I have
the same policy command in a saved ARD Send Unix command so that I can
manually update a machine. That command is:

/Applications/Symantec Solutions/LiveUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/LiveUpdate
-update LUal -liveupdatequiet YES -liveupdateautoquit YES

For us the SACM is better used as a monitoring tool although we do send out
commands with it for some things.
