Endpoint Protection

Hi guys.

I'm trying to config SEP 12.1.4 Unmanaged Clients using the liveupdt.hst file to hosts using OSX but without any result. I setup the ULA and export the file from ULA definitions.

I copy the file to the LiveUpdate folder but it stills making updates from the symantec server.

Can someone help me solving this issue?

See steps here:

For Unmanaged Clients
 

• From the LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x console, export the client settings host file, liveupdt.hst file, used by Java LiveUpdate clients. To generate a host file: 

1. On the Configure tab, click Client Settings, and then select the Distribution Center that you want your LiveUpdate clients to use.
2. Click Export Java Settings to create the liveupdt.hst file.
3. Copy the file to \Library\Application Support\Symantec\LiveUpdate on the Macintosh client computers. When the LiveUpdate client runs, it will use the host file for information on where to download updates.

 
OR:

• Modify the liveupdate.conf file directly.

1. Open a Terminal window.
2. Navigate to /etc by typing cd /etc.
3. Enter sudo pico liveupdate.conf to launch the text editor with Root user permissions. Authenticate with the administrator password when prompted. Command shortcuts are listed at the bottom of the screen; ^ represents the Control key.
4. Comment out the existing hosts/0/url, hosts/1/url and hosts/2/url entries by typing a # at the beginning of each line.
5. On a new line, type in hosts/0/url= then the address (fully qualified domain name or IP address) of the machine where your internal LiveUpdate updates are kept. Using the same examples given above, the format would be:
   
   hosts/0/url=http://myserver.mydomain.com/LiveUpdate
   hosts/0/url=http://(server IP address):7070/clu-prod
   
   Examples:
   hosts/0/url=http://tardis.gallifrey.com/LiveUpdate
   hosts/0/url=http://10.0.11.0:7070/clu-prod
   
    
6. When finished, save your changes and exit (^o to save changes; ^x to exit (say Y to "save modified buffer" if you have not yet already saved changes)).

"Thumbs Up" to _Brian, the second method is the way to go.

The likely reason for the first method not working for you is that since SEP12.1RU4, LiveUpdate on Mac no longer requires Java.:
