Problem: Live Update on both SEPMs started giving the error, “Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager could not update Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Content Catalog 14.2,” nearly 2.5 days ago. The logs have:

Environment: Two Windows Server 2016 with 14.2.1015.0100 (waiting for 14.2 RU1 MP1 to upgrade), embedded database, and replication between them.
Support’s Proposed Solution: Break replication, run a repair on SEPM, and then run Live Update to see if error is gone
Since both SEPMs started to have the problem at the same time, I highly suspect there a problem with Symantec’s Lice Update servers and not my local SEPMs (no changes on them for months). Does this proposed solution from support make sense for this problem or do you have a better idea?
