Live Update Unable to Reach Server
I have Symantec Anti-Virus 10.2 Corporate.  When I try to run a live update on the server it fails.  I am able to view the available updates but when it tries to download the updates it fails with the message LU1835 Connection to the Live Update Server failed.  In the Live Update error log it states that it cannot reach the server.  If you run Live Update on the individual clients it is able to successfully download the updates.

I have already done a complete uninstall and reinstall.  The server was able to update itself before the unistall.  I did the reinstall because we were having some client discovery issues.  Is there a port in the firewall that should be open?

Here is the part of the log where is is trying to download the update on the server:

That link isn't for Server 2003.  Is there a page with an EXE download?

This Symantec KB article might help you- "Error: "LU1835: Connection to the LiveUpdate server failed" (Enterprise)":  http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2006042008195848

Considering that the error text you provided mentioned a time-out, you may want to check with your network group to see if any network hardware settings were modified recently.

I'm having the same issues, i tried all the known fixes with no results.

Avatar of Elixir2Elixir2🇺🇸

I had the same problem. I found this which fixed the issue for me.

"Review the liveupdate settings from the control panel to specify manually your proxy, or and check your ISA proxy log from that ip machine."

I my case, even though the proxy was set in LAN settings for the machine, those settings did not appear to trickle down to liveupdate. I specified my proxy in the manual settings in liveupdate and the next log ended like this:

"exited with a return code of 1800, Success"
You want this. :)

Avatar of Elixir2Elixir2🇺🇸

Ookay, one more update here.

I found that the reason why the settings did not "trickle down" as I posted before, is because:
you must check the "automatically detect settings" box in your LAN settings.

done deal.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
