LiveUpdate is unable to reach or select a valid Symantec LiveUpdate server or LiveUpdate Administrator.

Environment

Release : 14.3.x

Component : LiveUpdate

Cause

The proxy settings for Web Browsers are typically configured for the logged on user, and not for the system context. Due to the lack of SYSTEM Account permission to proxy settings, LiveUpdate failed to authenticate with the Proxy.

Resolution

Use PSEXEC.EXE to configure the proxy settings for a web browser for the System Context. The following procedure is provided as an example of how you can use the tool PsExec.exe to set proxy settings for Internet Explorer for the system context. If you use a different web browser, refer to documentation for that browser to change the proxy settings.

For a free download of PsExec.exe, and information about this tool, visit PsTools Jump in the Windows Sysinternals web site on TechNet.

PsTools Download

To configure Internet Explorer proxy settings for a computers system context:

On the computer where you want to configure proxy settings, run PsExec.exe with the following command line to open a command prompt window in the system context: psexec.exe /s /i cmd.exe
In the new command prompt window, enter the following command and confirm the command prompt window is running under the system context: whoami
In the new command prompt window, navigate to %program files%\Internet Explorer and type iexplore.exe to start Internet Explorer in the system context.
In Internet Explorer, access Internet Options, then select the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
In the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window, configure proxy settings that enable this computer to access the Windows Azure Management Portal, and then click OK.
Click OK to close and apply the new settings, and apply them for the system context for Internet Explorer.

After you complete this configuration, the site server should be able to navigate the proxy configuration to access the LiveUpdate Server.
