  • 1.  LiveUpdate Administrator abnd Sites (New to SEP)

    I have installed the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and deployed it out to several clients. Everything seems to be working and updates are being pushed out. On CD2 there is an Install LiveUpdate Administrator. What is the purpose of this? I though the server automatically downloads the updates and then pushes them to the clients.
     
    Also If I have 15 different Sites set up on replication and under the communication settings I have pointed the client to the local Symantec Server will the get there updates from their local server.

    The LiveUpdate Administration Utility was developed to address the two major concerns of network administrators: high levels of external traffic caused by users using LiveUpdate, and network security.
    The LiveUpdate Administration Utility allows an administrator to modify LiveUpdate so that network users can download program and virus definition updates from an internal server instead of the Symantec LiveUpdate server over the Internet.

    See Symantec KB - http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/854fa02b4f5013678825731a007d06af/88256e7d007e8a11882567ae006ed083?OpenDocument

    So if this is not installed each client goes out to the internet for the updates?

    What ever you do under policy tab its for your clients.

    use the  Default Management Server
    meaning that your clients will get the liveupdate from the SEPM Manager and not from LIveudpate Administrator.

    If you want to point your SEPM manager to get the liveupdate from LIveupdate Administrator then you need to do that under ,

    Admin
    Servers
    Right click on local site.
    select liveupdate ( This liveudpate option is for your SEPM , above said if for your clients )

    I have installed the Live Update Administrator and set up the download and distribute but I can not filnd the link that I need to point my Symantec servers. Would it be http://server.domain.COM:7070/clu-prod. Where do I find the link that I need to put in my servers? Thanks !

    Check the distrubition icon or tab

    all the times it will be of the format

    http://servername portnumber/clu-prod

    Distribution link ..would be http://server name\CLU-PROD

    So if you put this link to ADMIN -> Local Sire Properties->Liveupdate->Source Server
    Then the Manager will be updated via LUA and then all the clients will pull the updates from SEPM.
