SEP 11 - Keep Virus Definitions Up to Date?

This issue has been solved. See solution.

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!

Symantec removed the document

It looks like Symantec might

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
