you can use the jdb file to SEPM manually. Note that it only updates AV definition.

You can also configure the SEPM to get the updates from LUA ( which will be downloading definition from internet).

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

http://symantec.com/docs/TECH102607

Live Update Administrator (LUA) is what you need in your case. This software is able to download the definitions for the Symantec products you need. Then, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager can be configured to download the definitions from LUA.

Hi,

You have two options i.e LUA or Manual update.

With manual update you have limitation becuase it will update only AV definitions.

I would suggest go with Live update administrator.

I agree with the above posters that you should use either JDB files or LUA.

If it is sufficient to update your SEPM only with Antivirus/Antispyware content (i.e., no content for IPS, TruScan etc), take JDB files.

If you want the complete content and your SEPM has the permission to access a different network, install a LUA in the other network (which has access to internet) and update the SEPM through the LUA.

If you want the complete content and your SEPM is in a high security network (no access to other networks), install a LUA in a different network, create a distribution point (webserver or share) in the SEPM network and copy the content from the LUA to the distribution point in the SEPM network. Then update the SEPM from this distribution point. See here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO44060

Hi....
I am using SEPM 12.1 Small business edition...and there is no option in sepm for creating a local site in it..
Pl suggest me some method to manually transfer update patches to symantec server...from a seperate system with internet connection .......for small business edition...
LUA doesnot work with Small Business edition......If No option available for manual transfer in Small business edition,...then can I migrate to Enterprize edition....Coz I cannot use internet on sepm

download .jdb file from inteligent updater. also if have intranet you just put the patch there then other pc can use that as well even unmanaged.

Dnt do Copying-pasting of .jdb file, better to go for LUA Server, its automated and will solve your purpose

Hi eliteeagles,

If you don't want to update manually then go with Enterprise Edition.

You can upgrade from SBE 12.1 to Enterprise Edition 12.1
