    Hi Guys,

     

    Just a quick query. 

    After installing SEP v12.1 on a machine. When we run Liveupdate. Where does the initial definition gets downloaded?

    It is being processed in Binhub. 

    But where does it actually gets downloaded?

     

    Regards,

    Shiva

    It gets downloaded to a temp directory to be decompressed then moved into the actual directory of:

    C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<version>\Data\Definitions\VirusDefs

    Brian - Thats where it gets installed. 

    Eg: C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.4013.4013.105\Data\Definitions\VirusDefs

    20141216.032 - Definition Folder Installed on the machine

    BinHub - Where it gets processed

    newdefs-trigger - Triggers LU

    TextHub - Blank

    But there is no folder where it gets downloaded. When you click Live update button these folders will not have download content. 

    Eg: When it is live update dowload even at 75% these folders are blank.

    Only after 100% download during processing - Binhub gets the contents where it initiates purging process with existing definitions.

    So my question is where does that 100% download goes on???

    Found it - it gets downloaded in a temp folder in C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.4013.4013.105\Data\Definitions\VirusDefs

    where the folder disappears when processed.
