    is SEPM updated?

    if not can you try updating SEPM using JDB ?

    How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a JDB file

    http://symantec.com/docs/TECH102607

     

    if the SEPM is updated, can you check the communication

    Hi Pete,

    Thank for the reply.

    I can see the defination for the manager is updated.

    I can only see the client on the client list. It just that no matter how i try to update the policy on the client, it won't get updated...

    Hi,

    Those machines were shut down during weekend days?

    Total how many clients do you have in the network?

    Total how many clients are affected with mentioned problem?

    Have you checked the policy number?

    Hello,

    Are all the clients facing this issue??

    Could you check 1 of the client machine (which is not updated)?

    What is the date and revision number you see on the client machine present?

    Did you restarting the client machine / server machine and check if that helps??

    Secondly, are these clients taking updates from GUP / LUA / SEPM?

    Could you pull and upload the log.liveupdate and sylink.log from the client machine to us?

    Hi NHTech,

     

    if you have GUP server then check GUP server status.

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-work-gup

    If the all client directly taking definition from SEP then check communication between client and SEPM server.

    Open cmd->telnet SEPM sever IP address 8014(default port for SEPM server communication)

    Check whether you are able to telnet or not and if not then communicate with your network team

    and open the port form SEPM communication.

    I manage to solve the connection program by the step below tru this link

     

    Right click on the group name in SEPM and export the communication settings. This will also create a sylink file. Import this file on the client by the following method:
    1) Client GUI
    2) Help and Support - Troubleshooting
    3) Import tab under Communication Settings. (The tab might throw up an error stating the option is not for Managed clients. (This can be taken care of by making the client self managed by using the sylink.xml from the installer cd.)
    4) After the import, restart the client service once.

    PS : Do not use the Sylink Drop.

    But another problem arise,

    It seem that client's defination not updated regularly. I have to manually do the update by right click the client then it will get the latest defination. Any expert able to help with this?
