No new update has been released yet

I think release has come. When i update manually my home Laptop. Defintion is update with 11 sep 2014 r35.

At symantec it is not be avaialble but i have tried it 6:30pm and its update.

New defs are out however the site has not yet been updated to reflect it

Agree with .Brian. Very wierd behavior as how does Latest from Symantec does not match Latest on Manager. Excellent catch ThaveshinP

My SEPM has finally updated it's AV defs, although, the site still has not been updated to reflect the change.

Hello all,

Cheers for the posts, above- yes, SEP 12.1 definitions are available via LiveUpdate.  For customers still running SEP 11 (please upgrade to 12.1, SEP 11 users: less than four months remain before SEP 11 reaches its EOL) I recommend downloading and applying Rapid Release definitions as soon as possible.

This article will help to deploy this protection throughout the organization:

 

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

Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102607

 

Or the RR defs can be applied to a single client:

 

How to apply rapid release definitions to a Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client.

Should definitions ever be unavailable for more than a day via LiveUpdate, I definitely recommend applying a Rapid Release set.

Hope this helps!  I will update this thread later when news is available.

So what you're saying is that only SEP 12.1 definitions have been released through LIve Update? Are they not going to release definitions for SEP 11 through Live Update?

Definition is now available on site as well http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions.jsp?pid=sep1213 Definitions Released: 9/12/2014 Extended Version: 9/12/2014 rev. 9

This is fixed

HI,

 

Hope you issue resolved!.

Definitions are now available for SEP 11 as well as SEP 12.1:

 9/12/2014 rev. 23

Many thanks!

Not sure but looks like Symantec having update issues again...anyone else seeing this again??

Looks ok so far? Were no defs for Sunday though...

No idea if they're having issues, or if it's intentional, but our local BCS engineer has informed us the next Defs release will occur approx. in 2 hours time from this post I am making now.

Without a doubt, it's one of the longest gaps by Symantec in quite some time.

Yes, I noticed the same issue in our environment... this is how my dashboard looked after checking in the RR:

I didn't realise this was an issue earlier in the month, but I'm surprised it's happened twice in the last few weeks!

What your seeing there is simply a well-known refresh issue that goes back years.

I'd call it a defect, but Symantec simply see it as a refresh-lag issue that takes time to 'update'.
Funny, other vendor products don't have such an issue.

Very true - no communication whatsoever from BCS support though.

We had to engage them ourselves. The updates eventually came out around 11:45am-12:00pm AEST. (GMT +10)
