  • 1.  Update Norton Antivirus, question on update proces

    Posted Mar 11, 2010 10:04 AM
    Hi,

    I have one question about the update proces of Norton AntiVirus 10. All server are up to date with right definitions.

    On the Sytem Center Console, I have one server group. This server group contains one primary server and 3 servers. All servers and primary server are configured with this parameters :

    - In All tasks ==> LiveUpdate ==> Configure... I  selected "internall LiveUpdate Server" with correct parameters and operationnal internal Live Update server.
    - In All tasks ==> Symantec AntiVirus ==> Virus definition Manager : I  selected "Update only primary server of this server group".
    In Configure, next to "Update only primary server of this server group", I selected  "Update Source LiveUpdate(Win32) / FTP (NetWare)" with ftp.symantec.com.

    My question is : On which server, Primary server or FTP symantec or internall Live Update server, will the servers download virus definitions ?

    Sorry for my bad english...

    Best regards,

    ftp.symantec.com
    liveudpate.symantecliveupdate.com
    www.symante.com

    It download the definitions on Internal Liveupdate ( Liveupdate Administrator ) and then the liveupdate admin will update the primary server and that will update secondary servers and its clients and then on..
