  • 1.  Previous virus definition file loaded.

    I've been noticing that a number of clients are receiving updates but are rolling back to the previous definitions.

    The logs indicate they are receiving the signatures from the parent server but the clients are loading the previous definitions.  Any ideas how i can resolve this issue?


    Note: Parent server and clients are running 10.1.8.8000.

    Have you check the certificate of the problematic client?
    We already encountered that scenario of rolling back of installation of AV. find out that the Certificate is incomplete. To check

    1. Open Internet Explorer
    2. Tools > Internet Option
    3. Content > Certificates
    4. Trusted Root Certificates
    I dunno what certificate is but, if your certificate is less than 20 maybe your policy keeps on blocking on the certificate that your Antivirus might need to proceed installation.

     Ensureing the LiveUpdate Content Policy is right in LiveUpdate Policy in Policy panel

     Domain policy  might be the cause of reconfiguration and allowing the third party certificates

    "certificate is less than 20" - what do you mean less than 20?

    where do i find this liveupdate content policy?

    domain policies as in GPO?  domain policies have not changed.

    not liveupdate content policy. Enabling Certificates needed by  third-party can be configured via GPO.
    Microsoft Certificate can solve the issue of rollback installation

    that's a major problem when you have a large volume of managed systems whose AV signatures are outdated 5 days.  these are the systems that received daily updates from the parent server are constantly rolling back to this particular date.  Using the continuous liveupdate have already slowed our network connection (internet).

    The continous liveupdate settings are the default config.
