Symantec Endpoint Protection Clients not updating

"Download LiveUpdate Content" shows that LiveUpdate starts, checks for updates and does/does not download them as appropriate.

None of the clients have up to date definitions. I haven't tried to download the definitions on any of the clients themselves as it kind of defeats the object of having a managed solution! :-)

Today, I uninstalled the manager software and the client software from the server. I then reinstalled, following the Symantec "Best Practice" for SBS 2003 Servers. The Clients appear in the client list and I can send instructions such as "Disable Network Threat Protection" to the client from the server and it works. Does that mean they ae managed rather than unmanaged?

It just seems as though LiveUpdate is storing the updates in one place and the clients (manager?) are looking for them somewhere else, hence there never being any new updates!?

The reason I wanted you to try live update on the client computer is so we can identify if the client is being managed or not. Luall.exe won't update anything if the computer is managed. Since you can send instructions to the clients, obviously the clients are being managed. After you reinstalled the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager software did you rebuild the client install package? If you run luall.exe on the server does it download anything?

I have run a number of tests that I found in one of the Symantec documents, to test the client - server communication and all appears to be OK.

As far as I understand it, the folder C:\Program Files\Symantec\Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content is where clients get updates from ... but the folder is empty!?

LiveUpdate put's it's stuff in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads

I am seriously thinking about going back to v10.2 at the moment!!

I found this in a Symantec article:

Verify that the SEPM content is updated:
a. To verify that the SEPM content has been updated, look in the following folder:
"C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manger\Inetpub\content\{C60DC234-65F9-4674-94AE-62158EFCA433}"
b. Typically, there will be 3 numbered folders present. The folder naming convention is "ymmddxxx". For example "90721055". This is the date and build number of the definition set installed. Please note that the definition set installed may have been published the previous day and a set for the current day may not yet be available.
c. Looking inside the folder that matches the set downloaded and installed, There should be a folder named "Full" and a zip file named "Full.zip".
d. Looking inside the "Full" folder, there should be the files typically associated with a virus definition set.

Is this path (UNC) listed on line a. the path we point our internal servers to?
