  • 1.  Server stops taking updates

    I have a server that just suddenly as of last week stopped taking updates from the SEP server...how can I troubleshoot to see why?

    Are there any logs I can review?

    Firstly, run the SymDIag tool on it for further error checking:

    Download SymDiag to detect Symantec product issues

    You can also enable sylink debugging to see the communication between the two:

    Supportmib, was SymDiag able to point to the issue?

    I see this error:

    Which I think is leading me here: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO59193.html

    Deleted the contents in c:\programdata\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\currentversion\data\definitions\virusdefs and deleted the keys on hklm:\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\currentversion\sharedefs (not any of the sub-key or sub-key contents).

    Just waiting now to see if it pulls defs down.

    You should just need to follow the article for fixing the corrupt defs.
