SEP 11.061 Install Package Upgrade Question

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 07:37

Hello,

I went into the "clients" then  went to one of the Folders clicked on "Install Packages" and added a package.  If i add a Package at the top level of a folder stucture will it pass down to all the folders or do i  have to create a seperate setting for each sub-folder?

Example:

My Company
     Main Building
           1st Floor
                 Dept A
                 Dept B
           2nd Floor
                 Dep C
           3rd Floor
   Second Building

If i setup a install package on "Main Building" will the others (1st Floor, Dept A, Dept B...) also get the update or do i need to set one up for each Sub-Folder?

Thank you

Daniel Schmidt

can't have lates Symantec virus definition using LiveUpdate

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 07:35

Hello,

I am using the LiveUpdate Administration Utility v 1.5.4 to download the latest Symantec Virus definition , the files are correctly downloaded to the download directory
I am checking the following products line:

-Symante Antivirus Virus definition.
-Symantec Antivirus Corporate Editions.

i am checking the following for the languages:
-SymAllLanguages
-English
-French

On the client side i have Symantec v10 installed and after running LUALL i have a message that all Symantec products are up to date however when checking the logs and the registry i don't see that the client machine had the latest virus definition installed...

Is there a way i can check that the latest virus definition was correctly installed to clients? An action to be taken in case  client are not having the updates?

i am checking value "NAVCORP_70" of key ' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\SharedDefs'of registry

AND here is an extract from the logs:

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 07:31

During scaning Norton Pc check was scannig a file "c:/users/..../local/temp/e-card.exe"   this file pass the antivirus scan. But after searchnig for this file manualy, I could not find it.
I looked in the folder. also, I used search from windows and finally I used command line "dir" and "find". But none was able to find the file. How come Norton can see a file that I can not locate after the scan? I'm a;lmost sure it is a virus but it pass norton scan.

Issues with DAT files building up in \Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\inbox\agentinfo

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 07:05

Anyone else having issues with DAT files getting backed up (read not processed) in the data\inbox\agentinfo directory?  We've had it happen a couple of times and restarting the SEPM service seems to remedy the situation at least temporarily.  We are running version 11.6a

We have a case open with Symantec in regards to this but are being told that this is a known issue, yet there is no public documentation that states that this issue exists in 6a (It is documented in the release notes for MR4 MP2)

Slow process of DAT files in the Inbox\Agentinfo folder on the Manager
Fix ID: 1513330
Symptom: Large numbers of files in the Inbox\Agentinfo folder. The number of files continually increases.
Solution: Updates to Avman and Agentinfo processing along with SQL batching of statements, and configurable multi-threading to the Agentinfo processing.

Critical System Protection VS Endpoint Protection

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 06:06

Can any body explain the differences between the two products?

Is  Critical System Protection is supported by 98?

Because we have some NT systems and also other system where we want to implement SEP.As SEP is not supported on NT and 98 so we want to check with Critical System Protection.But in Critical system protection can we protection from virus attacks and we cant use two products for this purpose if SCS supports stopping virus out breaks in the same Environment.

Can any one suggest so that we can use a single product for both windows 2000 and above as well as for windows 98 and NT.Eventhough support is not there for NT and 98,we want to see if we can find some product...

Thanks in Advance.....

LiveUpdate on SEPM

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 04:38

Hi,
 
On my SEPM Server Version 11.0.6 (Server 2008 R2) I have a problem with the SEP Client, respectively with the LiveUpdate 3.3 (not the LU Administrator)
The Client is managed (by himself), connected and gets the Policy’s.
But LiveUpdate always tries to load Updates form the Symantec Server and not as configured in the Location respectively in the LiveUpdate Policy.
 
What I also want to know is, where safes the client the policy´s which came from the management Server.
 
Thank´s a lot

SEP 11, Network Access Protection, SMC.exe

Wed, 09/08/2010 - 03:27

Hi,
 I have Windows 7 x64 (SP1 beta) with SEP 11.0.6100.645

 I'd like to run the firewall component only of SEP, so I uninstalled the 2 firewall related components. At the moment I also want to run SEP unmanaged, so just for basic AV with scheduled liveupdate. (I had some strange issues with the firewall, possibly relating to a large number of miniport adapters I have for virtualization & vpn)

 However I noticed "SMC.exe" was still running and taking a small amount of CPU (a few %). I therefore disabled
 - Symantec Network Access Control
 - Symantec Management Client

Having done this I observe
 - The tray icon is no longer present
 - If I manually start the gui & get a warning NAP id not running
 - The test virus EICAR is still correctly picked up.

Am I right in thinking this configuration is
 - giving full virus protection
 - running unmanaged
 - offering no firewall/network protection

Thanks
Nigel.

Hello

Several times I sent the virus file to check starting in August (# 17018189, # 17168960, # 17305095), but until now Symantec SEP can not detect this virus. We have to interrupt the process while using the rules created manually.

1) Why is this virus is still not detected antivirus?
2) How to see the current online status tracking # 17168960 (and another) than received automated emails.

Client cannot update policy from the Server

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 21:59

Dear ALL,

I'm using SEP Manager 11.0.5. My problem is SEP client cannot update from the server (policy, definitions).
I've checked Communication between Server and client, it seems OK.
On SEP Manager, some clients display computer icon with green dot, others are not. But from the client (which display computer icon with green dot), SEP icon dont have green dot.
When I go to Troubleshooting..., the server status is Offline, and it belongs to wrong group (even i already update Sylink.xml with SylinkDrop tool).
I dont know what happened.

Thanks

SEP 11 RU6 on Mac OSX 10.6.4, client not connecting to MC

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 20:36

We have few Mac OSX 10.6.4 clients on which we installed SEP 11 RU6 managed client. Installation goes without any issue but client is never registered in MC and if I check under "Management" in SEP client, it says it's disconnected even though the server name is correct.

We don't have much experience with SEP on MACs and there's no SYLINK.XML to check, like on Windows boxes, so any pointers are much appreciated. I don't know if this is an issue or known no-no with SEP on MACs, but our SEPM listens on non-standard port; Windows boxes have no problem but I figured I'd mention it in case MACs do.
Thanks in advance!
