Customer had selected "Run from the server if bandwidth is above - Any connection speed" in the Symantec Management Agent Settings - Target (Settings > All Settings > Agents/Plug-ins > Symantec Management Agent > Settings > Symantec Management Agent Settings - Target > All Desktop computers (excluding 'Site Servers') > Download tab > Download and Run Options. 

This caused the client to run the Windows Assessment Scan from the SMP from the WindowsVulnerabilityScan folder on the Notification Server and created the scan / log files - STPatchAssessment.log and STPatchAssessment.xml. These files updated the Windows System Assessment Scan package and that new package needed to be replicated out to the clients; however, the updated package is invalid and will not download.

These files are regularly located at: <drive>://Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\Software Management\Software Delivery\{6D417916-467C-46A7-A870-6D86D9345B61}\cache folder
