yes, there seems to be some issue. However as per the lionk, the systems are updated. Looks like cosmetic problem.http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2010010308571348

Symantec is aware of this and its working on it.

hi there, we got the same over here!

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/official-status-sepm-definitions-stay-31-12-2009-last-updated-04-jan-2010

Is it possible to be placed on a list of users to be notified of when this issue is resolved?

if you subscribe to the post linked to above - the official status thread, then you will get the latest information as and when that is updated.

So far none of my users have noticed this but its only a matter of time.  Wondering what this will do for the alerts when definitions are over x number of days old.   I have mine set to 14 days so I have a little time until that hits.

We are also seeing similar issues on our unmanaged clients.  If we use LiveUpdate, they show that the most current definition file is installed, but the client displays the definitions as Thursday, December 31, 2009 r114.

If we download and install the latest updater it will update the definitions to the version of the downloaded updater - currently Monday, January 4, 2010 r4.

Is this to be expected or are we experiencing something different?

From what I have seen so far, the multiple daily updates have stopped and the "latest" version of the 12/31/2009 updates is not posted on the Symantec Security Response web page.  How can we verfiy that we are getting the latest definitions  downloaded and installed?

Is there any ETA on when this will be fixed as our remote clients will start to have problems with connections due to host integrity checking.
We have moved to the max on our IVE but that is only 10 days.

There is little information comming from support as to an ETA on this, even with an open call with Symantec.

@wrr123, that is expected behaviour, since LiveUpdate is locked to the 2009 definition sets at the moment, whereas IU will force in the latest definitions.

@knightstorm, due to the increased overhead on the response team of creating another definition set, we have had to reduce the frequency temporarily to 1 committed release per day, with the potential for more if the team bandwidth is available.  The official thread on the forum (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/official-status-sepm-definitions-stay-31-12-2009-last-updated-04-jan-2010) will contain the latest available content information.

@simon.partridge, our engineers are working diligently to release a patch that will resolve this, but coding is just one small part - there is much more work that needs to go into the planning and release of the fix.
