SEP12.1RU2 manager not updating virus defintion on SEP11 clients

  • 1.  SEP12.1RU2 manager not updating virus defintion on SEP11 clients

    Posted May 06, 2013 02:17 AM

    Hi All,

     

    I have upgraded my SEP manager to 12.1RU2 and my clients are still on SEP11RU5.

    Found out that my SEP11 clients are not getting the virus defintion updates,

    Did a Luall.exe on the manager.

    I can only see virus defintion for  SEPM Virus Definition Win32 12.1 RU2 H and  SEPM Virus Definition Win64 12.1 RU2 H.

    Does that mean that the server is not download the SEP11RU5 virus defintion ?

    Does the SEPM Virus Definition Win32/64 12.1 RU2 H contain definition for SEP11 clients ?

     

    Regards

    If your 11.x clients get the definitions directly from LUA you will need to add the SEP 11.x product on the LUA selected product list and as well include it in both download and distribution. SEP 11.x clients won't be usinig same definitions as SEP 12.1 RU2 clients

    Update the defintion manually and check the client status.

    Check the Contentinfo.txt file in the SEPM to find whether the 11.x definitions are present and then check the respective folders for the date in which they were modified. There is a possibility that the 11.x definitions are either not downloaded or it would have got corrupted and is stuck at some date.

    Enable sylink loggin on an affected client and let it run through a few a heartbeats to pick up all the necessary info. This will pinpoint the problem. Post the log here for review:

    It seems that i have to upgrade my LIveUpdate administrator Server to get all the definitons updated correctly.
