Even though I have disable LiveUpdate and enabled VDTM the clients all seem to still retrieve the VirusDefs from liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com instead of the parent server. I have followed the Symantec instuctions to set this up. Any ideas?

LU is default on client regardless

I have configured the same way.  Regardless, if I have LU disabled/enabled, the clients still retrieve signatures from the internet rather than the parent server.

According the the symantec guys in the forum, that is normal.

Do you have a question

Do you have a question regarding this? Or are you answering a question that is two years old? If you have the same problem please make a new post.

Thanks

May I ask if you tring to

May I ask if you tring to manually execute the liveupdate button from the SEP client? if so, by default it will get the updates from the internet unless you have configured it on the SEPM and you have a liveupdate administrator.
