Some SEP 12.x clients not updating

I have some SEP clients that aren't updating, but it is only the virus definitions. I've attached three images from one of the affected clients. It claims the definitions are up-to-date and not corrupt. This client is also on 12.1 RU2. I did contact Symantec support as I was having this same issue with a few clients back on RU1 MP1, but the solution was to uninstall and reinstall, which isn't a very good solution. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I can upgrade a client using the intelligent updater. The recommend firewall ports are open and communication is happening otherwise. View the three image attachments I included.

Hi

Try these steps:

Right click on the group name in SEPM and export the communication settings. Rename the file to sylink file. Import this file on the client by the following method:
1) Client GUI
2) Help and Support - Troubleshooting
3) Import tab under Communication Settings. (The tab might throw up an error stating the option is not for Managed clients. (This can be taken care of by making the client self managed by using the sylink.xml from the installer cd.)
4) After the import, restart the client service once.

This didn't work either. I'm opening another case with Symantec.

There are 3 errors which Symantec help is referring to. Could you please tell us which all are those errors?
