Details

This is a normal behavior of the product and not an issue. The error found in Active Update (AU) log or TmuDump.txt is not critical, because iAU doesn’t have server.ini at all.

iAU site is being used by WFBS 7 and it logs its update process from the directory below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Trend Micro\Security Server\PCCSRV\iAU\iaulogs

AU log is placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Trend Micro\Security Server\PCCSRV\Web\Service\AU_Data\AU_Log directory.

In WFBS 7, AU is only responsible for Messaging Security Agent (MSA) pattern update. It doesn’t get its update from http://iau.trendmicro.com/iau_server.dll but from regular AU site which is http://wfbs70-p.activeupdate.trendmicro.com/activeupdate/.
