Repeated from a previous post elsewhere ...
Allen,
I don't know enough about the specifics of NIS to know if Live Updates have a 1:1 relationship with forced NIS patches. To be clear, I define a patch to NIS as anything that increments the version number of the product as seen in the ABOUT dialogue.
Rather than tell Symantec what low level features I want, I prefer to indicate what high level capabilities I want and let the developers figure out the best way to implement it.
Towards that end, I am requesting:
(1) The ability to opt out of forced auto patching of NIS (only this one particular activity); I want all my other definition streams and NIS information exchanges to continue.
(2) The ability to revert (rollback) a problematic patch with one click.
(3) A Web page that provides links to full NIS installers for every version released so that I can manually reinstall previous versions or upgrade to newer versions without having to follow this forum and grab these things when someone finally posts a link.
Please communicate this to your friends at Symantec for me, since they have never acknowledged this thread or previous requests for such capabilities.
Thank you very much.
