Hi, Norton Internet Security 2010 is not officially supported by Windows SteadyState currently. We do not have existing script for it. As we do not support custom script development in this forum, you will need to write your own custom update script. When you write a custom script, please pay attention to the following: 1. Custom scripts must be written so that they return only after actions in the custom script have been completed. 2. If a custom script update on a Windows SteadyState computer requires any resources during a scheduled update, such as a valid network connection, the resource must be available at the time of the update. 3. If Norton shows any blocking UI (for example, a dialog that requires user interaction), then the updates will fail. Also, you can refer to the following thread regarding script: Script with schedule update at certain time and disk protection on and set to remove changes http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1951048&SiteID=17 SteadyState Script Questions http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowssteadystate/thread/ef92b24c-1cdf-48a6-ac3c-37817a70f590Sean Zhu - MSFT

Ok. But I am totaly new to writing scripts. Dont know how to write one. So can you at least give me a link to some forum where i can ask for the script, cause maybe somebody already has written a script for Norton Internet Security, so i dont have to do it on my own. Thank you

So would this script be enough ? : "C:\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\Engine\17.7.0.12\uiStub.exe" /lu call wait 300 The first line would call the Norton updater. The second line would wait for 5 minutes. This would be a batch file (script). Please help me, I am new to this. Will this script be enough for Steady state, or do I need to input some additional lines? Thanks for help
