    First try by replacing sylink file in one client and see.For this
    export the communications settings from the server

    In the console, click Clients.

    Under View Clients, select the group in which you want the client to appear.

    Right-click the group, and then click Export Communication Settings.

    In the Export Communication Settings for group name dialog box, click Browse.

    In the Select Export File dialog box, locate the folder to where you want to export the .xml file, and then click OK.

    In the Export Communication Settings for group name dialog box, select one of the following options:

    To apply the policies from the group from which the computer is a member, click Computer Mode.

    To apply the policies from the group from which the user is a member, click User Mode.

    Click Export.

    If the file name already exists, click OK to overwrite it or Cancel to save the file with a new file name.

    To finish the conversion, you or a user must import the communications setting on the client computer.

    For this
    Copy the SylinkDrop.exe file to the desktop of the client you want to be managed.
    This tool can be found on CD 2 of the Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 installation files, in the folder "\TOOLS\NOSUPPORT\SYLINKDROP". It can also be obtained from Symantec Technical Support.
    Double-click SylinkDrop.exe.
     When prompted to select a Sylink.xml file, select the Sylink.xml you created in previous steps.
    Click on update sylink.
    After replacing it will give a message as sylink has been replaced successfully. 

    Or 

    You can use this method also for changing the sylink file

    On the client computer , click Start > Run, type smc -stop, and click OK.
     Copy the Sylink.xml into the C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection folder, and replace any existing Sylink.xml file.(This name is important)
    Click Start > Run, type smc -start, and click OK.

    check the communication between server and client

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH105894&locale=en_US 

    if enabling the liveupdate, does the client get the updates?

    Hi sReejesh,

    In the log we can see that the server name cannot be resolved - although it is not a root issue (by IP it works fine) - you may want to check it.

    Please go to the console - Admin - Installation packages. Go to installation settings and create a new set leaving all options as they are BUT changing the last one to REPLACE communication settings.

    Export new package using the set of installation setting just created. Install this package on your server machine. See if it updates. If not, please attach a new sylink log.

    Thanks.

    i did see these entries in the log, which is not right.. looks the definition of the client is corrupted. See if this URL helps you to fix the corrupt definition

    Pete,

    this entry is correct.

    Agent returned closest matching seq: <None>     <--- client reports existing defs

    12/07 13:27:04 [1192] <Add2LUFileList:>Adding LU Info to LU Download File List: {1CD85198-26C6-4bac-8C72-5D34B025DE35}101206002     <------- client adds file to have it downloaded later

     


    12/07 13:27:04 [1192] <Add2LUFileList:>File Info already exists, hence updating: {1CD85198-26C6-4bac-8C72-5D34B025DE35}101206002     <---------the information already exists so it will be updated (the same as before so no real update)

    should it not be mentioning the sequence number, instead of none??

    Hey Reejesh,

     

    please try adding a host entry in your Win64 client server.

     

    To edit the host file,

    Click Start – search for “Notepad“, right-click and select “Run as Administrator“. This should launch notepad with elevated privileges. Now, open the host file from the File menu, add the below entry after the localhost entry and save.

    ip-address NRIDCCSEP1

     

    Hope this should resolve your issue. :-)

    Note: The hosts file will be located in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

    Because it has no definitions I suppose...



  • 20.  RE: Win2008 server 64 bit machine isnot taking latest updates.

    Posted Dec 07, 2010 05:22 AM

    Actually it will be in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc
