So you mean to say you will

So you mean to say you will connect SEPM server to the internet for a short period of time so that it downloads liveupdate then again disconnect it from internet..
Well yes...once you connect sepm to internet and it downloads the updates it will distribute to all its clients..IPs definitions are not released daily ..it is sometime once a month or 2-3 times a month.

Once the SEPM has the

Once the SEPM has the IPS definitions, they will be distributed to the clients from SEPM.

If if your client machines do not have interne connection, then a good practice would be to connect the SEPM to internet for some time, get the definitions and distribute them from SEPM.

You can connect your SEPM

You can connect your SEPM server to internet for downloading the updates. You also assure that in that package selection you selected IPS also. For this login to SEPM console

Go to Admin--->Servers--->local site--->edit site properties ,then go to live update tab. There in content types to download you can click on change selection option and ensure IPS is selected

Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Thanks & Regards Aravind

Copying definition from one

Copying definition from one sepm to another is not yet possible.However If you can install a LUA in that location it will serve your purpose.

No need to install lua in

No need to install LUA in both places..

 u can host Live update content using LUA in another server... check configuring distribution center section in the document. Its very easy...

LUA document is available in the second CD of SEP.
Or download from here ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/li...

How do I configure LiveUpdate

How do I configure LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) 2.1 server to obtain updates directly from another LUA 2.1 server?

Also make sure you configure the Download and Distribution schedule.

bit complicated but Worth giving a try

Well you can try one more thing

on the computer in which you have the LUA installed
go to the distribution URL in web browser.

https://luaservername:lua port ( 8080) /clu-prod

copy the whole clu-prody directory

then on the SEPM server in the IIS

paste the clu-prod directory in c:\inetpub folder

then Create a new website in IIS and configure on any port ( eg 8080 if anything else is not using it )
Point it towards the c:\interpub\clu-prod

then in the sepm configure to take updates from LUA
in the URL put
http:\\localhost:port of website\clu-prod

no need for username and password
