Hello to you all.
First time posting here. :)
I need to deploy Symantec Endpoint Protection in a secure network without internet access and therefore I need to update the virus definitions manually.
Unfortunately not all of the computers pass the requirements for version 14. There are computers with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows 7 X64 and Windows XP SP3.
After some reading I found out that one SEPM can manage and update clients with ilder version. I have created a test enviroment (virtual machines) and everithing seems to work except that when I copy .jdb file in the incomming folder for manager version 14 the clients with SEP verion 12 does not get updated until I copy second .jdb fore manager version 12. After that old clients get updated too. And this should be done in that particular order 14 and then 12 otherwise the .jdb file gets renamed to .jdb.err and clients do not update.
I have the following questions:
1. Is there some setting or other way to forbid the management server to run liveupdate?
2. What is the proper way to manually update definition files for both current and older version clients?
3. Where can I download the latest supported installation files for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP?
