    Hello,

    What version of Liveupdate Administrator (LUA) are you running?

    Make sure you are running the Latest version of LUA 2.3.2, Check this Article - 

    LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) version 2.3.2 is now available

    Also, Make sure the SEPM and LUA are not on the same server.

    LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on the same computer

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH105076

    and 

    Follow the Steps provided in the Article below:

    Endpoint Protection 12.1 Clients fail to apply Virus and Spyware Protection definitions from LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH196873

    Secondly, check this Article on -

    Hope that helps!!

    I'd highly recommend reviewing the below article for how to troubleshoot LiveUpdate on a SEPM

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH105924

    The article contains instructions on how to locate the log files (log.liveupdate and sesmlu.log) that would assist Symantec Support if it gets that far.

    Double check the configuration of LUA.

    Whether  it is configured to download and distribute SEPM updates?

    Whether the download and distribution schedules are running fine?

    Is there any error messages are present in SEPm console-->admin-->servers tab?

    Guys

     

    Thanks for all your help. followed all the articles but the real problem was the connectivity between the SQL Server database and SEPM.I found this from the SST logs.

    Reconfigured the communication between thr database and SEPM and this solved the issue.

     

    Regards
