Symantec Endpoint 11.0

I'm looking for the best Live Update policy settings to use to hand down to PC's that will be least restrictive to bandwidth. We would like to have PC's update nightly when signatures files are available. Recommendations and suggests welcome.

My recommendation is not to use SEP at all.  If you are worried about bandwidth, you should know that SEP uses more than most, besides being a resource hog.  There are many other choices and products from both ESET and GFI download more smaller updates, thus saving bandwidth.

We used to use SEP and had it update at the default setting of 3AM, but I received so many complaints that I switched to GFI's Vipre. (The only difficulty is if someone is using ESET already - you need to uninstall ESET before trying to let VIPRE install)

Well the company owns it so I'm just looking for the best way to configure it. We're upgrading to 12.1 this weekend which I am told is lighter and manages resources better.

And, by the way 12.1 includes the same GUP functionality. Highly recommended.
