After reading lots of posts, "they say" that the problem is only in the SEPM code. Standalone clients aren't affected. Standalone clients will still get the 12/31/2009 dated defs as it can cause problems if a client, like my laptop, gets it defs directly from Symantec, unless it is at work, where it then gets them from our SEPM server. They are still releasing updated defs, but the date for these updated defs are still listed as 12/31/2009 They are just incrementing the rev number. It seems that if SEPM gets a def with 2010 date, it calculates that this new def is outdated and throws it away. They will start sending out 2010 dated defs after the SEPM fix is available, either manually or automatically via Live Update. Current defs as of today are 12/31/2009 rev 116.

I wonder wether they'll provide a patch also for standalone unmanaged clients GuidoElia HELPPC _____ Da: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Inviato: martedì 5 gennaio 2010 16.04 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: RE: 2010 date problems anyone? Yep. Just got this about Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. Symantec Endpoint Protection Management Server considers any definition updates dated after December 31, 2009 to be out-of-date. Any definitions dated in 2010 are being thrown away without being sent to client computers. As a temporary fix, Symantec is dating all Symantec Endpoint Protection definition updates as December 31, 2009. The revision number is being updated. For details, please see: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/201001030857 1348 Symantec intends to correct the SEPM server code by distributing a code patch with Live Update definitions. Until Symantec corrects their code in ours and other servers, users will see Live Update virus definition date of Thursday, December 31, 2009 From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 9:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2010 date problems anyone? http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7873 David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
