How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) using a .jdb file

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102607

copying the folders is not recommended. can you check if LUA can meet the requirement?

I want to create a script that will copy the virus defs from one SEPM to another.  Is this possible and were are the defs located?

yoyu may attempt to try

\Program Files\Symantec\ Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content folder on SEPM has the definition.

Are the  SEPM of the same version?

hi,

Why you want copy VirusDef for one system to another ?

Virus defination found here

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\

yes the sepm servers are on the same version.  The second sepm server has 2 nics. the first nic talks to the first sepm server and and the 2 nic talks to another network.  I want to copy the files from the 1 sepm server to 2 sepm server.

hi,

Virus defination folder is not recommended.

Go to Admin --> Servers --> Local Site --> Right click local site --> Liveupdate --> Download  Schedule--> Edit Download Scheduled as per requirement

hi,

you can use this script copy virus defination

@for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do @set dt=%%l-%%j-%%k-%%i
@for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do @set tm=-%%i
@set tm=%tm::=-%
@set dtt=%dt%%tm%
@echo Copying backup set: %dtt%.
@echo Please wait..

@if not exist C:\Symantecbackup\SymantecDBBackup\ mkdir C:\Symantecbackup\SymantecDBBackup\
@cd /D C:\Symantecbackup\SymantecDBBackup\  (Location Where you want Copy)
Copy "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content" "C:\Symantecbackup\SymantecDBBackup\" (Location Where you want Copy)
 

Try this script......

Is this the correct path for the virus defs?

C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content

Yes SEPM Administrator Server
