Problem

After upgrading a LANDesk Core server from a prior version to LDMS 9, the following error may be seen when downloading Antivirus pattern file updates:

Cause

The file PatchSources.xml located in \Program Files\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\ on the core server contains the relative directory location on the virus content server.   This relative location has changed between LDMS 8.x and LDMS 9.

In LDMS 9, the patchsources.xml is no longer used, and the patchsources information is imported into the database into the PatchSettings table.

Resolution

A file "(language)_patchsources90.xml" is located in the main ManagementSuite directory.   Make a copy of this file and rename it to "PatchSources.xml" within the same directory.

Note: (language)_patchsources90.xml will differ depending on language.   English = enu_patchsources90.xml.

The next time Updates are downloaded the correct LDMS 9 patch content settings will be imported into the database.
