Problem In Update Task Options

[etorona]

Hi,

I configured a local server for bitdefender entreprise update.

My problem is, i can't perform the update task for my clients.

I have this error message :

BitDefender Live! was unable to connect to the following location: http://upgrade.bitdefender.com/bdssadd_82. Please make sure that this location is valid and retry.

i have the vesion 2.6 of bd entrepise manager
and 8.0.2 for the bd client professional plus.

Thanks

Hello etorona,

Are the clients set up to update from a local update server or are they each connected to the Internet and set up to update from our update servers?

Thanks!

The update is disactivated on clients. The local server performed a planed task to send update to clients.

Hello etorona,

Please tell me on how many computers in your network you receive this error message when trying to update.

Thanks!

I am seeing the similar problems in our network.
On the computers that have stopped updating the primary update server has been set to http://upgrade.bitdefender.com which resolves to a1937.g.akamai.net (the IP address has been different each time, but the DNS name is the same).
To fix it I have been pointing them to http://update.bitdefender.com or our local update server for their primary update server. Those that have had problems seem to have last updated on the 21st or 24th of September 2009.

When they have problems I have had no problems pinging upgrade.bitdefender.com or update.bitdefender.com. On some computers I have seen this error even when http://update.bitdefender.com is set as the backup update server.

We are running Client Standard 8.0 with version 2.6 of the enterprise manager. As for severity, so far I have received reports of problems with ~20 of our 600+ client computers. These problems started appearing at the beginning of this week

Any suggestions? I can get more info if you would like.

Thanks

I should also mention that these computers are running XP SP3 and so far the ones that are on auto update (Staff machines) seem to have been affected more than the Public machines (No auto updates, DeepFreeze or equivalent installed. They get updated somewhere between weekly and monthly) have been.

Thanks again

Hello Aczlan,

There was a recent update aimed at correcting update issues with this version of the product. Please tell us if you are able to update BitDefender Business Client from your local update server now.

Thanks!

Thanks for answers,

I thaugh that my problem is resolved, but no.

The auto update is performed only for clients connected to Internet, especially for the first update task.
It looks like that the clients checks updates from internet !!!!

However, i put my local server as the primary server update.

I don't know where is the problem !!


It seems that the BitDefender HTTP server is stopped, i can't run it manually. Is this the probelme ??

Hello etorona,


Please search in your system for a file called "livesrv.log". Open it and look for the error that the update process generates when trying to connect to the local update server.

Hi,

Thanks for reply,

I think i find the problem, i used the 8080 port to start BitDefender http server, but it can't.
When i change the port, it start now.

I think that it was my problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks All.

We are still having this issue on some computers.
Details from the computer of the day:

1. User called said that Bitdefender wouldn't update.
2. I ran updates from the management console using our local server, updates ran fine and it says "No update available" when I try to run it. The user said that they got a 'Bitdefender installation" message and a second BD icon in down by the clock. That ran (is this the update you mentioned?)
3. I sent an update using upgrade.bitdefender.com as the primary server and update.bitdefender.com as the backup. It ran and I get a "Finished with error" under status.
4. The error message says "BitDefender Live! was unable to connect to the following location: http://update.bitdefender.com/update71. Please make sure this location is valid and try again".
5. I tried having it update again using upgrade.bitdefender.com for both servers (our default config) and got the exact same message. (that it couldn't contact http://update.bitdefender.com/update71) I looked and the PC has upgrade.bitdefender.com as the primary server and update.bitdefender.com as the backup.

Is there a reason why I wouldn't be seeing upgrade.bitdefender.com as the server it tried to contact when I specified that as the server to use for the primary and backup servers?

Pinging from that computer gives me the following results:

Hello Aczlan,

Please tell me what version of the Client you are using in your network?

Thanks!

Hello Aczlan,

This version of the product is quite old so my recommendations would be one of the following two:
- either upgrade free of charge to Client Security 3x and Business Client for the client workstations;
or
- reinstall Client Professional on the workstations that encounter these issues.
