hi

There is nothing wrong in that, u would have followed this document

http://www.symantec.com/connect/sites/default/files/SEP%20on%20Terminal%20Servers.pdf

check if those registry fixed are applied, if yes the only in the troubleshooting section it will say Offline

however it will communicate and get udpates without any issues,

But sometimes it is not getting updates, and i have to restart that server then it is showing definition is updated.

i have tried SEP Support tool, it is showing SRTSP and NAVCORP_70 are of old dated.

it is very deficult to find out the exact issue whya it is not updated.

is there any specific service or port to be allowed in inbound/outbound?

Can you collect the sylink

Can you collect the sylink logs from the client, that will give us a clear picture. and as you are telling that the latest defs are present then please collect the debug logs from the client side and if possible add it to the thread.

We need sylink.log not the

We need sylink.log not the syslog server log.

Well since its terminal server so it would be like that it won't show if its online/offline from client system.

Well as you said sometimes it updates and sometimes it doesn't.

I would suggest you to either allow it to connect directly to SEPM to take defs (if GUP is assigned)

Or amy be network issues the defs might have got delayed. What version of SEP is installed on this server ?
