    Hi,

    Refer to attached file, virus definition update will download from both SEPM and 10.10.1.58 ??

    Since 10.10.1.58 is internal server, will definition also be downloaded from ??

    Thanks

    Yes it can downlaod from SEPM or from Luadmin

    If both options are enabled, clients try to retrieve updates from both sources. Typically, do not enable both options unless you have a specific reason. If the management server provides named update versions to clients, and the clients have previously downloaded the latest updates from a LiveUpdate server, the clients do not download and install the named (previous) versions.

    Assuming 10.10.1.58 is a correctly configured LUA serverm, then your clients will download defs from there in accordance with the Schedule settings (on the left hand pane) of your LU Policy.

    If no schedule has been set, then the clients will never actually download from 10.10.1.58.  Similaly, if you set a schedule but omit the "Options for Skipping LiveUpdate" then you are potentially generating more network load than you need to.

    The below article might be useful to you:

     

    What happens when both LiveUpdate Server and Default Management server are configured in a LiveUpdate policy?

    I didn't find the source in SEPM installation file.

    Where can find the source ?

    Otherwise, 10.10.1.58 is internal. Will clients connect to it through internet ?

     

    Thanks

    it will be on CD2\tools folder from Fileconnect.

    https://fileconnect.symantec.com

    key in the serial number

    CD1 will have SEPM

    CD2 will have luadmin

    Assuming you didn't configure that LU policy in the first place and someone else setup the LUA, you can at least check if the LUA is running by trying to connect to the below URL:

    http://10.10.1.58:7070/lua

    If up and running, then you should be presented with a login page.  Hopefully your company has that documented somewhere...

    On a related note, most companies don't need a LUA, as the use cases for it are rather specialised  It might be worth reviewing the below articles to help you decide if this can be removed outright...

    Incidentally, as it's an internal IP connections should be direct, unless going via a proxy.

    if you select use symantec liveupdaet server, it will go to internet

    if you select manangent server and lu , it will go to both of them , select any one, 

    You can set your sepm to take updates from luadmin ( if sepm does not have internet)

    sepm will then distribute to clients.

    - Not through internet ??

     

    You can set your sepm to take updates from luadmin ( if sepm does not have internet)

    sepm will then distribute to clients.

    - Do you mean build a intneral liveupdate server and all clients update from it only ??

    If you had Luadmin then you can select that option( Both SEPM and LUadmin needed in this case) , If you have only SEPM, then Check only Default management server , all clients will go to SEPM and Not to internet.Clients can take updates from different source , in your case Let SEPM take update from internet and clients get update from SEPM.
