I need solution for my problem.

My problem is invalid folder appeared when i put .jdb pattern file into inbox folder.

In later day, it is ok.

In my enviroment, 1 SEP 12.x connected with 3 client. all my client installed windows 7 has occurred geniue error and free space is 600MB.

I want to know symantec pattern can do updating when there is windows was not geniue error and has little space to extract pattern file.

How many size do we need to extract pattern file especially .jdb file?

Hi,

Basically 1 GB Free space required for updating SEP client ?

Try to clear some space and check again..

First of all, I would like to thanks for your answer, James007.

I used third party management tool to update pattern for just only client. Purpose is to test.

After that, i will deploy this pattern into all client from SEPM server.

When i put .jdb pattern file into inbox folder of client, invalid error was occurred.

I would like to know what matters make to be invalid error.

jdb file is for 32 bit and 64 bit client respectively.

Make sure you have downloaded the correct one.  Does it work if you download a fresh jdb?

why dont use intelligent updater which is single exe instead of jdb?

Thanks for your answer.

.jdb is only one file for 32bit or 64bit. I downloaded the URL: which you pointed.

But the error is still occurred. Why I don't use intelligent updater is i would like to use the same file with the using one on SEPM.

I just want to know is why this error occurred.

is it because of less free space on client or windows has geniue error?

I would forward your reply...

Here are the possible reasons

If a TPM update fails, the content copied to the inbox will be moved to a folder called "invalid". Possible reasons:
 

•     TPM has not been enabled
•     The file type is not supported
•     The file structure is incorrect
•     The content being installed via TPM is already installed or is older than what is installed

Is your liveupdate on the client working fine?

was the inbox folder created automatically after you enabled third part in SEPM or you manually created it, this is the path for 11 and 12

SEP 11.x:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\inbox

SEP 12.1.x:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\CurrentVersion\inbox

check the event viewer and also the log.lue under

On Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008:
C:\Program Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<silo_id>\Data\Lue\Logs

check these logs it will give you the reason. You can post it  here as well.

Hello,

Agreed with above comment - 

If a TPM update fails, the content copied to the inbox will be moved to a folder called "invalid".

Possible reasons:

•     TPM has not been enabled
•     The file type is not supported
•     The file structure is incorrect
•     The content being installed via TPM is already installed or is older than what is installed

For more details on TPM and updates regarding SEP 12.1 clients, see HOWTO80942, "<subhead>How to Use a Third Party Tool for Content Deployment</subhead>" and HOWTO80914, "Preparing unmanaged clients to receive updates from third-party distribution tools".
