From Symantec Support Website:
Question/Issue:
Why is Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 11.x not updating 32 or 64 bit virus-definitions?
Symptoms:
- Symantec Endpoint Protection Clients do not update virus definitions.
- Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager shows old virus definitions in "Admin > Server > Local Site >Show LiveUpdate Downloads".
Cause:
Old or corrupted virus definitions prevent Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to update with new downloaded virus definitions.
Solution:
Steps to clean Virus Definitions folders and republish Live Update Product Inventory on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager:
- Delete the content of folder "c:\documents and settings\All users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads\"
Note: Application Data is a hidden folder. Delete the content of the Downloads folder, but not the folder itself. - Update the LiveUpdate catalog by opening the following link in Internet Explorer:
http://localhost:9090/servlet/ConsoleServlet?ActionType=ConfigServer&action=PublishLuInventory
After few seconds you will get a confirmation message "Responsecode="0". - Stop the services "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager" and "Symantec Endpoint Protection"
To stop the services:- Go to Start > Run.
- Type the following: Services.msc
- Select and stop the above mentioned services.
- Delete the numbered or TMP folders inside the paths:
- %programfiles%\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\inetpub\content\{1CD85...
- %programfiles%\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\inetpub\content\{C60DC...
- %programfiles%\common files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\sesmvirdef32
- %programfiles%\common files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\sesmvirdef64
- %programfiles%\common files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs
- Launch the process LUALL.EXE from %programfiles%\Symantec\LiveUpdate (May be requested to click on "START")
(LiveUpdate should run for some minutes (5-10 min), if some error messages are displayed, exit and launch again LUALL.exe) - Restart both Symantec Endpoint Protection services when LiveUpdate is complete.
- Verify the numbered folders of virus definitions are created in the following paths:
(There might be just 2-3 folders in the beginning, but the default number is 10 folders)- %programfiles%\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\inetpub\content\{1CD85...
- %programfiles%\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\inetpub\content\{C60DC...
- Log on to Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console and launch a LiveUpdate from Admin > Server > Local Site > Download LiveUpdate content.
Verify the correct download/usage of new virus definitions from "Admin > Server > Local Site >Show LiveUpdate Downloads".
Note: In Server 2008, the Downloads folder in step 1 is located at C:\Program Data\Symantec\LIveUpdate\Downloads
