Symantec Endpoint and Bandwidth

I have two branch offices, Site to Site VPN. Since updating my security server version, I am using Symantec Endpoint Protection, my bandwidth is being sucked up. It seems like every day now I lose connectivity and/or get very low bandwidth. I look at my netflow info and see that the connection that is using it is the security server and the branch computers, one or multiple.
I have looked at Symantec and tried to set it so it didn't do this in the middle of the day. I have looked at the update on the machines themselves. I am not sure what to do next. I need to get it so that my bandwidth doesn't spike when these two connect and/or update.

Thanks. I did go in and do that. I will see how it goes tomorrow.
I checked all of my policies. Everything is set accordingly but I still get a bog every day or so between my branch workstations and Symantec. I will notice that internet connectivity has spiked. When I look I see that it is Symantec and one of the branch computers. If I restart one or the other my internet connectivity goes back to normal. Any suggestions?

Not sure I understand what you mean by a management server. I have one dc/server at each location and that is it. They are small branches with 3-8 computers each.

I am not sure if I can do that with my Symantec license, I assume but I will look into it. I guess it won't hurt to have that on the DC for each location, that is the only server I have there?

The problem seems to be more related to the version not having updated on their own. Running the sylink on them seems to have helped with the updates.
