Use the Policy Run Wizard to quickly run a Symantec ESM policy on a domain or an agent. Policy runs gather information on the security of your systems. A policy run instructs the ESM agent to gather security data by executing the modules that are contained in the policy. You can then view the results of the policy run in the ESM console. The Policy Run Wizard lets you start or schedule a policy run. It leads you through each step of the process and helps you quickly ensure that the policy run contains the policy and modules that you want to be run on a specific agent or domain.

You may choose to enable LiveUpdate for the current policy run. You can enable LiveUpdate by checking the Enable LiveUpdate for the agents in this policy run check box.

If you check the Enable LiveUpdate for the agents in this policy run check box, LiveUpdate is enabled on the selected agents even if the LiveUpdate is not enabled from the agent properties. However, LiveUpdate is enabled even if you do not check the Enable LiveUpdate for the agents in this policy run check box, and LiveUpdate is enabled from the agent properties.
