When your LUA will send Definitions to SEPM it will process the definitions and will show the right information.
If you configure in liveupdate policy to download the definitions from LUA then your SEPM will not show the ( SEPM defitions ) as current as they are not processing the definitions. The clients are directly taking it from LUA.

When you download JDB the SEPM processes the definitions and it will show current SEPM defs as latest.

Thanks for the quick response.

I don't fully understand what you mean when you say:

When your LUA will send Definitions to SEPM it will process the definitions and will show the right information.  If you configure in liveupdate policy to download the definitions from LUA then your SEPM will not show the ( SEPM defitions ) as current

How should I configure the SEPM to receive it's updates from the internal LUA?

 SEPM - Admin -Servers - Local Site- Properties- Liveupdate -Edit Source Servers.

 Yes that looks correct..however in SEPm -Policies _liveupdate

Only Default Management server should be checked.

Which is how it is set.  Like I said everything is updating except the Latest Manager Version.

Latest Manager Version should be taking its information from the revision column in the 'Show LiveUpdate Downloads'.  Are those the only three items in that window when you open 'Show LiveUpdate Downloads'?  There should be many more types of content listed.  64-bit definitions are also not updated, even though you mentioned using a JDB file.

Is LUA on the same machine as the SEPM?  I suspect not because the SEPM appears to not have an internet connection, based on the 'Latest Symantec Version' being essentially empty.

While local to the server, you might want to repair the SEPM installation.  If something has gotten corrupted this should fix it.

We only download what we require and as we don't have any 64bit clients at the minute, it seems pointless to download 64bit virus definitions.

LUA is running on the same machine as the SEPM and updates fine, I just haven't configured the proxy server settings in SEPM.  It seems a bit extreme to repair the SEPM installation when everything else is working fine, I would rather do that as a last resort.

Try running Manager Server Configuration wizard.
Don't change anything ..just.next..enter password..next...finish

I'll try that tomorrow when I'm back in the office.  Is there anything else I can try?

 Have tried simply restart SEPM and embedded database services ?

That makes sense, I just thought it odd that the date/revision was different between 32 and 64 bit when a JDB updates both.

Try using dbvalidator.  If the database is broken it could explain why the wrong date is being popped into the Home page.  Unfortunately, if the database fails validation, a repair on the SEPM installation will not fix it.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 11.x is not updating 32 or 64 bit virus definitions.

Tried both a reboot of the server and running the Manager Server Configuration wizard, but still the same problem

Try this

Tuning the Performance of the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console

If not helps repair SEPM from add/remove programs..
