    Hello,

    What version of Liveupdate Administrator you are carrying??

    If you are carrying a Liveupdate Administrator 2.2.2.9, I would advice you to Migrate to the Latest version of Liveupdate Administrator 2.3.1.

     

    Check this:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/videos/liveupdate-administrator-how-configure-remote-distribution-center

     

    I would recommend you to create a case with Symantec Technical Support to grab the Latest copy of LUA 2.3.1

    You can create a Case Online as well...

    Hi,

    You may also want to try Configure > Preferences and set the purge updates to happen a bit more often and keep less revisions to free up space. If you do this make sure the purge schedule does not overlap any download or distribution schedules otherwise it will not purge anything.

    Solution
     

    WARNING: Do not clear the VirusDefs folder if LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) 2.1 is installed. This will cause LUA to report that engine updates are corrupt until the next set of engine updates is released.


      To solve this issue, follow these steps:
    •  
      1. Stop the Symantec Management Client service by following these directions:
        1. Go to Start > Run
        2. Type smc –stop
        3. Click OK.
           
      2. Stop the Symantec Endpoint Protection service in services by following these directions:
        1. Go to Start > Run
        2. Type services.msc
        3. Right-click on Symantec Endpoint Protection service and select Stop.
           
      3. Navigate to <local drive=""><local drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Virusdefs
        1. Delete any numbered folders
        2. Delete all files and folders with a ".tmp" extension
        </local>
      4. Install a new set of definitions manually using the Intelligent Updater (as explained in How to update definitions for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 using the Intelligent Updater)
      5. Restart the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service in services
      6. Restart the Symantec Management Client service
        1. Go to Start > Run
        2. Type smc –start
        3. Click OK
        4.  

    For what all products have you configured your LUA if for SEP then just if just SEP english is selected or other programs are also selected..

    This issue can be due to the lastest definition issue with SEP. Manually remove old definition files and see if they get downloaded again...
