On Windows Mobile or Symbian mobile devices, if you have not enabled the SMS messaging feature for Mobile Security, you need to configure update schedule in the Common Policies screen (see Common Policy) to periodically update components. However, on Android mobile devices, if you have not enabled the SMS messaging feature for Mobile Security, you can also update components and sync policies through push instructions.
