Force clients to request policy updates

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a way to make a client request a policy update from the Enterprise Console manually through the command line? I'm trying to get a Deep Freeze maintenance window set up for our workstations and I need to get the policy down to a machine with some haste so that it will know if it needs to update or not, etc. The policies only seem to push down right away if the computers are moved into a new group while connected to SEC.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Cameron,
as you seem to be testing anyway you could do the following to put your mind at ease :smileyhappy::
- stop the services (including AV)
- clear the adapter storage
- shut down the computer and take it off-net
- boot and check the settings
- additionally use a copy of EICAR on a removable medium to verify protection
Or the short version:
- stop the Agent only
- clear the adapter storage
- unplug the computer
- restart the Agent
- check settings (optionally verify with EICAR
- restart the AV service and check again
