Endpoint Protection

So as of 12/31/09 I haven't been able to update Virus Defs 32 or 64 on SEPM.

I already tried the following and it didn't work

1. Stop SEPM server service.

2. Go to C:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\Inetpub\content\{C60DC234-65F9-4674-94AE-62158EFCA433}" folder and move all of the subfolders to another place, such as C:\Temp if you want a backup, otherwise delete the sub-folders.

3) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\ and delete the following folders:
sesmipsdef32
sesmipsdef64
sesmvirdef32
sesmvirdef64

4)In the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\InstalledApps.
Delete these keys
SymcData-sesmipsdef32
SymcData-sesmipsdef64
SymcData-sesmvirdef32
SymcData-sesmvirdef64

5). In the registry, navigate to and delete the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\SymcData-sesmipsdef32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\SymcData-sesmipsdef64
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\SymcData-sesmvirdef32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs\SymcData-sesmvirdef64

6). Start the SEPM service back up.

7). Run Live update from within the Symantec Endpoint Protection Management console.

Any ideas?

 Defs are working as advertised..  Look at the revision numbers, they are getting higher, just not the date.  That is the workaround Symantec has implemented.
 This is a bug Symantec is working on.

If you looked at just the first page of these forums, you would have seen the 10 other threads on this very same issue.

Symantec will rollout an update for RU5 through liveupdate, older builds will need a patch respective to each MR release.

its a bug its still under progress , waiting for symantec reply

Yea I just found that article as well. Sorry for the duplicate post.

teiva-boy, just to be clear on this - we will patch ALL builds via LiveUpdate, not just RU5.

The only situation where manual intervention will be required is for a SEPM that doesn't connect to LiveUpdate (on a dark or disconnected site for instance)

Any Idea about the Patch Release Date - Max time Frame needed by Symantec

I have not seen any change in the scenario, the problem is still lying unresolved i think.

In my case, the SEPM Machine Client is updated to 11 Jan 2010, five machines in the LAN are updated to 7 Jan 2010 and the rest are still with 31-12-2009.
