    are the clients communicating to SEPM?

    can you post the sylink log form one of such client?

    To pull the Sylink.log, here are the steps provided in the article below:

    How to enable Sylink debugging for the Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.x and 12.1 client in the Windows Registry

    Once we have the Sylink log file, we can understand the Root cause of the issue.

    Hello,

    A Duplicate Thread to :

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sepm-12-error

    Could you please let us know - 

    1) What OS are you running on the SEPM server?

    2) Were there any changes made on the server like firewall, proxy, etc?

    3) Are the clients able to communicate with SEPM server?

    4) What happens if you run the Liveupdate from the SEPM console?

    As per the screenshot, what I see is SEPM is updated, however the clients are not updated.

    Hi Matinjamir,

    You should check two things.

    1) Make sure clients & SEPM have same policy serial number.

    Also you can check these settings as well.

    Log into the SEPM Console and navigate to > Policies > LiveUpdate > Check assigned existing LiveUpdate Settings Policy.

    Make sure use the default management server is selected.

    2) If you are using SEP 12.1 (12.1.671.4971). You can follow the steps to make sure security status is displayed correctly.

    1. Log into the SEPM Console
    2. Click the Preferences link In the  Security Status section on the SEPM Home tab
    3. Select the Logs and Reports tab
    4. Select DDMMYY from the Date format combo box
    5. Click the OK button to close the Preferences page
    6. The changes to these settings may take a few minutes to take effect.

    If above two points are corrctly set, share screenshot for "Show liveupdate downloads".
