Installing and configuring the LiveUpdate
Administration Utility
12 In the Ready to Install the Program panel, click Install, and then follow the
on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

installed the Quarantine Server.
This information will be required when you configure client programs to
forward items to the Central Quarantine.
You can use the LiveUpdate Administration Utility to create a single download
point for virus definitions and updates to Symantec products that use
LiveUpdate. You can set up a LiveUpdate server on one or more Internet-ready
computers to distribute updates across an internal local area network (LAN).
For more information, see the LiveUpdate Administrator's Guide on the
Symantec AntiVirus CD.
To set up a LiveUpdate server with the LiveUpdate Administration Utility, and
to set up servers to retrieve updates from the LiveUpdate server, complete the
following tasks:
Install the LiveUpdate Administration Utility.
■
Configure the LiveUpdate Administration Utility scheduling from the
Symantec System Center console to download updates from Symantec.
Configure the LiveUpdate Administration Utility.
■
Specify the packages to download and the directory to which the packages
will be downloaded.
If you have workstations that are connected to a UNC network location, the
user who is logged on to the network must have access rights to the network
resource. The user name and password that are supplied in the host file are
ignored. With a Windows NT server, you can create a shared resource that
all users are authorized to access (a NULL share). For more information on
creating a NULL share, see the Microsoft Windows NT server
documentation.
Ensure that your FTP server, Web server, or UNC share is configured to
■
share files from the download directory that you specified.
