Re: IU Batch File Instructions Tweaking ThreadWell, drat as far as no update for today. I didn't even look. As far as working without the range, no, it didn't work! So, we now know exactly, for others following in my footsteps, what to do in a case such as this. Weird, I must say, but now I have to figure out the next steps to add it to my Task Scheduler. I think I'll give it a day or 2 before doing that though. |

Bear in mind that the latest definitions date might not appear on the NAV gui until you next run LU. |

Yes, TOO weird. We should really try to figure out why both my WinME and Win98, both with ZAF on, don't need IP entered on local zone, but yours does. It's a knot left untied that bothers me. |

Aha! Well, that runs daily in the early PM, so if there is an update tomorrow or the next day, I shall find out what happens. How, if LU has to be run, does one know if the .bat file d/l even took place might I ask? |

When I ran LU, the screen said that no new updates were required, but when I closed it, the new definitions date appeared. |

So in order to know if the .bat file worked, one must run LU? That doesn't make sense to me. I believe you, but it still doesn't make sense. |

You don't have to "run" LU, you just need to bring up the NAV window, where it shows the ref dates. On my system, when I run the ftp .bat file and there's a new update, I open the NAV window, and it shows the new date. I believe it pulls the new date from the downloaded file. LU doesn't actually make a connection to the internet. |

jaykaykay, as I said in my IM to you, I downloaded and installed the intelligent update today, and my virus definitions remained at 5/15/02, so what you've experienced is normal/correct. I checked my VirusDefs folder, and it's the same as it was after LiveUpdate ran yesterday -- the definitions haven't changed. This is for anyone else's information too. |
