IPS Update: ips scheduled update ended with errors

Check the internet connection on SMC and Check dns config to see updates.checkpoint.com resolves to an IP.

To manually update the IPS database;

1- Close all GUI applications,
2- Open a GUIDBEdit to the SMC (Application:GuiDBedit.exe)
3- Search (Search->Find) for: autoupdate_and_install_status_obj

Once found you will see a field named status under that object.

4- Change the value of status 0
5- Save changes,close GUIDBEDIT
6- Open Dashboard and verify if the issue resolved.

Note : There is a fix for this issue, Request it from Support.
