Hi,
I have Symantec Endpoint 11.0 I currently have 4 computers hooked up to a wireless network. I see that the standard daily virus def file is about 40MB.

I am limited on my monthly download amounts, therefore I want to download the daily virus update to only 1 computer and have the other 3 get the latest def from this one computer. I also have the Endpoint Protection Manager, however can not figure out how to accomplish this. I have spent hours on-line trying to figure this out but can't get it.

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

You need to install EPP on the primary computer as a Symantec EPP Server and then set your updates to daily. On your other 3 machines, install Symantec EPP as clients and point them to your primary machine as the server. Set their udpates to daily and offset each of them by one hour so there's less network pull at the given update time. Hope this helps.
