Symantec virus definitions security updates

Without access to the LUA. That's what I'm asking to do. 6. RE: Updates without Internet access Best Answer Posted Nov 30, 2011 08:12 AM Hi Matthew,Using a pair of LUA 2.x servers (one that can access the Ineternet, and one on the high-security no-access network) it is possible to keep everything up to date. This does, however, require daily manual "sneakernet" action. The following article has all the details:Updating downloads in an internal LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x Server using the downloads from an external LiveUpdate Server Article: TECH106254 | Created: 2008-01-15 | Updated: 2011-08-16 | Article URL this helps! 7. RE: Updates without Internet access Posted Dec 01, 2011 01:35 AM To update a managed client with a .jdb file: In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, go to Clients. Select the group in which the client or clients can be found that need to be updated manually. Edit the LiveUpdate Settings Policy. In the LiveUpdate Policy, choose Server Settings in the left pane. In the right pane, under Third Party Management, enable the option "Enable third party content management". On the SEP client, make sure that the client got the policy change by checking for the existence of this folder: - Windows XP / 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\inbox - Windows Vista / 7 / 2008: C:\Program Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\inbox\ Download the .jdb file from the Symantec Security Response Website: - for Certified Definitions. - for Rapid Release Definitions. Note: the file extension may change to .zip upon download. If this is occurs, change it back to .jdb. For each SEP client that needs to be updated, copy the .jdb file into the folder noted in #6 above. After a few minutes the .jdb file will automatically begin to process. When complete, the client should reflect new antivirus definitions.To manually update a SEP client Go to the rapid release virus definition website Download the appropriate .exe file for your SEP version and Operating System symrapidreleasedefsv5i32.exe for SEP installed on 32 bits OS symrapidreleasedefsv5i64.exe for SEP installed on 64 bits OS Run the file on the clients you whish to update and follow the instructions on the screen. After a successful update you should see the following message: Open the SEP client and observe that the definitions date for the "Antivirus and Antispyware protection" has changed.Note:in case the Intelligent Updater executable fails, you can also locally update managed

1. Installing Antivirus on Windows 7 64-Bit Computer Posted Oct 11, 2011 06:31 PM We've recently added some Windows 7 64-Bit computers to our network. When I go into the Symantec System Center Console, Remote Install, those computers do not show up. We are using Symantec 10.1.6000.6 installed on a server running Windows Server 2003. Any suggestions? 2.

RE: Installing Antivirus on Windows 7 64-Bit Computer Posted Oct 11, 2011 09:30 PM You are using the old version of SAV. You may need to think of upgrading the infr to SEP 11 RU 7 or SEP 12.1.SAV 64 bit edition client will not get the updates from SAV server, these clients either need to connect to internet or internet liveupdate server.

--> Fix corrupt definitions on Endpoint Protection clients calendar_todayUpdated On: Products Endpoint Protection Issue/Introduction You have received a warning that Symantec Endpoint Protection clients have missing or corrupt definitions, from one of the following sources:Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP)Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM)SymDiagThese messages would appear in the form of: SymDiag shows the error "Some Symantec Endpoint Protection definition sets are corrupted"SEP clients show the error "Your Virus and Spyware definitions are missing or corrupted. This computer will not be protected against viruses and spyware until new definitions are downloaded."SEPM shows the error "Attention Required" which indicates that definitions are corrupted or that components are disabled.Connections to the LiveUpdate Servers have been tested as per Article ID: 15126 and determined to be normal. Environment Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.x Microsoft Windows Cause There is no single cause for corrupted virus definitions. Possible causes include:Other software interfering with our download and extraction processCaching proxies making changes to our definition update filesPower loss during the definition update processYou may also see this new message if new definitions have been downloaded but cannot be applied. Resolution For Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) Definitions: See article ID: 184206 for instructions on manually deleting the content. For Endpoint Protection (SEP) Client Definitions: Reboot the system, then download and apply an Intelligent Updater for your version of Symantec Endpoint Protection. The Intelligent Updater is designed to remove existing definitions and install a fresh set. If the issue persists, follow the manual steps found in article ID: 180682 to Manually clear the definitions in your client. If these steps fail, enable communication module logging and set to "debug" as per article ID: 171445. Once enabled, re-attempt to run LiveUpdate. Or, if managed, wait up to 2 heartbeat cycles. Once complete collect the resulting logs, preferably by collecting a full symdiag.

Directly over the old without uninstalling first; see the previous question.There's no Add or Remove programs for Mac. How do I uninstall?As of version 14, you can uninstall through the menu bar once the SEP client UI is open. See Uninstalling the Symantec Endpoint Protection client for Mac for more information.How can I configure the SEP Manager to supply definitions to SEP for Mac clients?The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager cannot host Macintosh LiveUpdate content the same way as it does for Windows clients. As of Symantec Endpoint Protection version 12.1 RU4 the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager can be configured as a reverse proxy for downloading and caching the latest Macintosh LiveUpdate content. All Macintosh updates otherwise must otherwise occur through Symantec LiveUpdate or from an internal LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) server. Please see Using the LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x to download updates for Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh for information on how to configure LUA for this content.Note: it is not recommended or supported for LiveUpdate Administrator and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to be on the same physical server.

You can enable Device Control on managed clients only. See Mac Device Control in Endpoint Protection.Is Active Directory integration supported for Mac clients?Use SEP 14.3 RU1 MP1 (14.3.3580) or newer to support SEPM synchronization with AD/LDAP OUs.I can send Mac clients a command to become an Unmanaged Detector or to enable or disable Network Threat Protection, but nothing happens.

Set of policies that you can use to isolate applications so that they operate in a protected environment. WSS Traffic Redirection: Symantec Endpoint Protection provides web security to remote users by connecting the client to Web Security Services (WSS) when a route through a corporate network is not possible or practical. WSS Traffic Redirection (WTR) directs traffic from the endpoint to WSS/CASB Services, eliminating the need to install a separate client. You deploy them once and manage them centrally, which lowers the cost of management and eliminates conflict between the agents. This functionality allows Symantec Endpoint Protection to rapidly enable connectivity to cloud services with minimal interruption to users. Ability to test new engine content and definitions before they are released: Symantec Endpoint Protection contains several content engines that carry out parts of its functionality. Symantec provides a special server that lets you download and test the engine content before you roll out the content to your production environment. Engine updates are released to the EAS for 2 weeks before its phased release on the public LiveUpdate server. Symantec provides the engine updates using your regular LiveUpdate configuration. You can find the option Use a Symantec LiveUpdate early release server in the LiveUpdate Settings policy. Option to lock engine version: The LiveUpdate Content policy now has the option to revert to an older version of the engine but continue to receive the latest content that corresponds with that engine. In the LiveUpdate Content policy under Windows Settings, click Security Definitions > Select an engine version > Edit. Clients that are locked to a specific engine version only receive LiveUpdate content that corresponds to that engine version.Management server featuresOn the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Home page banner, the Latest News link changed to Latest Alerts.
