I didn’t see this documented anywhere, but you have to create the following MIME types on your web server when you move to HTTP updates as your transport.
IS Manager -> <your server> -> Default Web Site -> Your Directory -> properties.
Go to http header -> MIME Types. Add
.m25 application/binary (for v10)
.x86 application/binary (for v8 & v9)
osql -E- Login with your Windows credential
to change your authentication mode to Mixed Mode (meaning you can use both local password such as sa, and Windows Credentials), change…

Last week I did an upgrade to our SAV server that failed. This failure resulted in the SAV server being unable to talk to the clients. The new server install laid down a new PKI folder, which is the public key for the server. Once I recovered the old PKI file, the old clients were able to talk to the new server.

This will create the text file C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec AntiVirus\vpdebug.log. When you start Live Update, a dos window will pop up. After you run Live Update, change the key from all to null (leaving an empty key.)
