If like me, you have found the Symantec web site and technicians to be… well…. useless…
Here is a simple list of the stuff to add to the Group Policy settings to get SAV working using the System Centre Console.
Under “Define program exceptions properties” add the following: (Assuming default install location)
%ProgramFiles%SymantecLiveupdatelucomserver.exe:LocalSubnet:Enabled:Symantec Liveupdate
%ProgramFiles%Symantec Antivirusrtvscan.exe:LocalSubnet:Enabled:Symantec Antivirus
This works for me 🙂
You will need the patch for the 8.x clients to show up in the XPSP2 Firewall list.
