  • 1.  SEP 11 - Keep Virus Definitions Up to Date?

    Posted Jul 07, 2009 04:00 PM
    I was wondering if there's a way to keep the virus definitions up to date regularly from the base install.  Similar to what you were able to do with SAV 10...where you'd update the VDefHub.zip, and then when you did a new install or deployed a new machine, the definitions wouldn't have to update from weeks or months ago.  Is there a way to do something similar with SEP11?

    Thanks...I was used to pulling this from the clients on SAV10.  That article was exactly what I was looking for!

    It use to be something like this:


    Connect to your SEPM server.
    Browse to the following directory: c:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection Manager\Inetpub\Content
    Open the contentinfo.txt file and locate the version of SEP you are planning on updating the defs on (32 or 64 bit)
    Open the directory corresponding to your version
    Copy a zip file (full.zip) from the latest revision, to your installation file directory
    Delete the vdefhub.zip file
    Rename the other file to vdefhub.zip
