Hello,
you will probably use sauconf.xml for Windows clients to pre-configure the updating policy. Per default (after you've created it with exportconfig.exe) it has AllowLocalConfig="false" for the update locations, schedule and logging. I'm not aware of a similar setting for Macs (which, BTW, can also be pre-configured - see Mac OS - pre-configuring Autoupdate). I know you can "lock" it from the GUI but it's an OS X feature.

Hi Christian,
Thank you very much for your help. When I generate that savconf.xml file through the exportconfig.exe utility, the resulting file does not contain any line resembling AllowLocalConfig. The exact command was exportconfig.exe -type SAV -policy "NNUHomeUsers" -output c:\Test\savconf.xml.
Maybe I'm running a different version of the Enterprise Console or exportconfig.exe utility?
The Enterprise Console is 4.0.0.2362. The exportconfig.exe utility reports that it is version 2.0 when I run it.
I also noticed that in your post you said the name was "sauconfig.xml" rather than "savconfig.xml". Are we talking about the same creature?
Maybe there's a way I can manually insert that AllowLocalConfig line? That may get painfully complex though...
Thanks again.
Hello again,
"sauconfig.xml" rather than "savconfig.xml". Are we talking about the same creature?
Probably not :smileyhappy:: savconf.xml is for the Anti-Virus settings (scan, cleanup and scheduled scans), sauconf.xml is for the update settings. You'd use -type=AU for this.
