A LiveUpdate session runs automatically after an install of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). Is there any way to prevent this?
There are multiple ways to prevent LiveUpdate from running.
MSI script:
Add the "RUNLIVEUPDATE=0" to the MSI command
Refer to TECH102668 for the details of using MSI command line switches and scripting of SEP installation
Exported Install Package
When a install package is exported without the "create a single .EXE file for this package" option selected you can edit the setaid.ini or the setup.ini files within the same directory as the setup.exe file for the install package
setaid.ini*
Change the "CONNECT_LU_SERVER=1" entry to "CONNECT_LU_SERVER=0"
setup.ini
This file contains the MSI string used to install SEP. Add "RUNLIVEUPDATE=0" to the string
*settings in the setaid.ini file will override any settings in the MSI command string
