thanks for the quick responses guys! :)
Sandra, I ran into your document while designing my test and It was very helpful. I looked it over again and I believe that I have everything in place that is in your instructions.
I am using IIS to host my files rather then Apache, because I know a lot more about IIS then Apache, but I would be will to switch if recommended.
I believe that I have the content for my Macintoshes correctly downloaded and distributed. It is showing this in the event log of my LUA here:
For my download I only have these selected for Symantec Endpoint Protection v11.0 English, because our PCs are currently being updated by our Management Console.
-LiveUpdate Updates
-LiveUpdate for Macintosh 5.1.2 English
-Product Updates
-Symantec Endpoint Protection Client Macintosh 11.0.6000 English
-Symantec Scheduler for Macintosh 4.0.3 English
-Virus Definitions
-Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac Virus Defs
I have a different download Schedule for LiveUpdate, Product Updates, and Virus Definitions to help spread out the load on the network; I have one distribution schedule for all three of these download schedules.
Regarding the LiveUpdate Policy of these machines, I do also have the url to my clu-prod share in a policy, set to a group, in my Management Console, that has my Macintosh in it. My error might be having the policy inplace and the .hst file?
I have attached my java update file that was provided by our in house Mac tech. We have to run this one over the jre update 2 that shows up in Software Update because jre update 2 will break other programs that we will be running on our Macs.
heres the section of my log file that I origionally posted before:
