Morning All,

Can anyone explain to me what is different Default Management Server n Internal Liveupdate Server?

If you ever do the setting, kindly share the info.

LUA sits on the inside of your network and downloads updates from Symantec to distribute to SEPM and clients.

Default Management Server is the SEPM, which clients will connect to and download content.

The Difference between LUA and Internal Liveupdate Server is nothing. Both are the same.

"SEPM internal live update" is when SEPM is using a Internal Liveupdate Server (LUA) for updating itself.

You can configure the Internal LiveUpdate server to download updates from a Symantec LiveUpdate server and send updates to client comuters..As per SEP admin guide you should use the LiveUpdate Administrator utility to update the LiveUpdate server. The LiveUpdate Administrator utility pulls the definitions updates down from a Symantec LiveUpdate server.

The default liveupdate settings policy has the clients "use the default management server (recommended)."

This will cause the clients to get content updates as part of the normal check-in process.

Adding a liveupdate server is not a necessary step to get clients to update via the SEPM.

Hello,

Thank you James.

LUA 2.x is a great tool, when used (and configured) correctly.  If your SEPM can access the Internet, though, and the only Symantec product you have in your envionment is SEP, then LUA is probably not needed.
