How to Move clients from AD group to a SEP group on the SEPM 11

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 05:30

I need to move a client that is in an AD defined group to SEP group.  I am NOT going to restructure my AD in order to accommodate SEP.  I should be able to move clients into a SEP group that will allow me to apply different policies to these specific SEP groups’ machines. 

scan pc wihtout symantec

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 05:23

Hello,
I was wondering if there's a way to scan my entire network (about 200 pc's) and get a resolt on how may computers DON'T have symantec installed on them? (I know there's an option for unmanaged computers, but what about computers with no symantec at all?)

Thanks all!

SEP client fails to attach to server

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 05:23

Hello everyone,

we've got a problem here - one of our desktop PCs has recently refused to connect to the server. The green dot simply disappeared for no reason and we can't do anything about that. Things we've tried:
1. Reinstalling remotely: via find unmanaged clients, via exporting an install package, via local installation and SyLink.xml drop - didn't work. Installs perfectly, no errors or warnings in the logs, still fails to connect to the server.
2. SEPtool doesn't find any errors or warnings.
3. Disabling the "Enable secure communications between the manahement server and ..." checkbox in Clients -> policies -> Security settings didn't help.
4. Tried different versions of SyLink.xml (from different groups, default one, etc.) - didn't work.
5. No firewalls or other similar things are blocking the connection - checked 2 thousand times.
6. We use the latest available versions of SMC and client.
7. There are no any network related issues or any other errors/warnings on the problem PC - everything works perfect except SEP client does want to connect to the server.
8. The log from SyLinkMonitor (latetst version) is attached here.

Any advice is greatly appreciated except those looking like "reinstall the operating system". If we wanted to solve the problem that way - wewould have already done that. The key point here is solve the issue without reinstalling the system. Thank's in advance!

low screen resolution

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 04:55

Hi
We have a network with 10 computers (laptops / desktops).  We use Symantec Antivrus version 9. Since last week we have problems with the laptops (HP Elitebook workstation) in the network.  After a live update and reboot of the system, the screen resolution chages to 640x480 16 colors and some services failed to start.  After removing symantec antivirus, everythink worked fine.
Any idea who we can solve this problem ?

SEP installation Q

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 04:21
  1. Is there a way to configure disable notification of IPS port scanning on clients?
  2. How can I know that branch office clients getting LU from Branch office GUP server? Just I want to make sure branch office client will get LU from GUP which I configure on each Branch office.
  3. How to configure dedicated Group Update Provider to distribute content to its one branch office only clients?
  4. Is there a way in console client tab to view more than 1000 user?
  5. I have schedule scan on weekly base on 12 noon Monday, if client is switched off on Monday and client is switched on Wednesday does schedule scan will run when client is up. Is it going to wait for coming Monday to start the scanning?
  6. In SAV 10 schedule can show status of scanning on the client side. But in SEP 11 how I can configure to show scan status on the client side?
  7. When I click on LiveUpdate on client PC it shows Initializing...Connecting to liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com...so this means it is downloading from syamntecliveupdate Server instance of SEPM server. Is there a way to define to connect only to manage SEPM server when I click on LiveUpdate tab on client. I don’t want to disable manual LiveUpdate in LiveUpdate policy.

SEP fails to replicate properly between servers

Tue, 09/07/2010 - 02:11

Hi,

we're experiencing a strange issue with SEP (ver. 11) here. We've got two servers to monitor the other servers but somehow these two servers never seem to show the correct amount of machines they're supposed to monitore. Refreshing won't help unless we delete the files in the 'inbox' and 'outbox' folders. Then it will show the correct number (nearly 1000) but over the next days this number declines until it is at around 600 or even 400. Replication is set to auto, we tried to change it to manual but that didn't solve it. Any ideas?

Blocking my router's ip?

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 22:02

I've seen several topics that hint about what my problem is and everything leads to me going into my "Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console" to add an exception; however, I do not have that, I have Symantec Endpoint Protection...no manager console.

What I'm trying to do is set up an exception for my ip address.  I went in: Network Threat Protection and added a firewall rule, but that didn't work, still keeps blocking the ip, 192.168.1.1..  Now the question is...is there two different versions...Symantec Endpoint Protection & Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager?

Thanks for helping a total idiot if you can...:)

Endpoint Protection (AntiVirus) consumes huge disc space on Drive C

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 20:12

I got a similar case as the following link.
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/c-drive-running-out-disk-space-huge-folder-i2ldvptmp

But my case relate to install latest SEP 11.0.6.562 with Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3 server.

I have W2k3 Standard 32 bits server and installed SAV 10.1.6 before. 
I found upgrade to SEP 11.0.6.562 version and found low space on drive C.

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec EndPoint Protection\I2_LDVP.TMP"
It have a lot file with attribute "O". it mean it is EV placeholder file.
File Name Start with msl-428-XXXX

I do exclude folders (Vault storage folder & Index folder) and *.DVS files, but it does not sort it out.

I can't delete them since it is placeholder files; even save mode, I can't delete them.  

I attempt to install EV FSA agent on EV server to delete these files. 

Would someone meet my case and found a way to sort it out completely ?

Any good practice setting of SEP on Enterprise Vault storage server and FSA agent client ? 

SEP Antivirus and Antispyware Turned Off

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 19:25

I have an unmanaged SEP RU5 client. Few days ago I noticed that a notification saying that my AV was turned off. I tried to log off and login again and the AV was turned on again.

Can anyone help me with this? I was very annoying to relogin every time the notification pops.

Thanks in Advance.

SCCM 2007 False Negative

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 16:27

Has anyone had what I suspect as a "False Negative" with SCCM 2007?

We have recently installed SCCM 2007 (with all the latest service packs) onto a W2K8 R2 server however SEP has started reporting the following files as Trojan.gen:
tools.exe
changecache.exe
located "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminUI\XmlStorage\Tools"

We are running version 11.0.6000.550 with the latest update.

To mitigate the issue we have added a local exclusion but would be nice to not have to. Not a big issue as we are only running one instance of SCCM but I'm sure we aren't't the only organisation that use this product

Cheers.

Problem with Wireless and NTP on SEP 11.0.780.1109

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 14:47

Just installed SEP on a Dell Latitude D520 with the Intel Wireless and tried to connect to a NetGear Wireless Router. I was able to successfully to connect to it before installing the software. If I disable NTP, then I can connect to the router. Checking the Wireless Troubleshooting, I fail either on Association or Authentication when NTP is on. The laptop is running XP SP3. Obviously, I am missing a rule to allow access through the firewall, but what is it?

I have another 18 laptops to do with SEP and I need to know the solution before continuing with installing SEP.

SID 23363 HTTP Nukesploit P4ck Activity Detected

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 14:44

I am running Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6100.645 with the latest updates on Windows 7. 

I keep getting a message that "HTTP Nukesploit P4ck activity detected."

I wend to the attack signatures and have disabled system restore, updated the virus definitions and ran a full system scan.  No problems were found. 

I do not understand the "delete any values added to the registry" task and need some further explination. 

What else can I do to stop this issue.

Update virus pattern into a sep installation package

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 09:39

Hi,
I have no access to Sepm server.
I need to update virus pattern included into Sep Installation package.
I've already read a previous discussion about this problem and the solution was to get the FULL.ZIP file from a SepM Server folder.
I can access to Sep 11.0.6005.562 clients or to a Liveupdate Administrator server.
Is there anuy way to update the installation package?
Everytime I install Ru6a, I need to download 90MB of updated... it too much and is very dangerous: I need to connect to the network a pc with the old definitions file to update them.

Initialization of Database failed - SQL2008 existing database

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 09:14

Hi,

I've installed The SEPM, I already have a cluster of SQL 2008 and my DBA's configured a DB for me (do the database already exists). I let them know of the required file groups and special permissions mentioned in the documentation.
When I try to setup the SEPM, it fails with the "initialization of database error", I tryed looking for the log file the message mentioned in ...\tomcat\logs\install_log.err and the log file was empty.I thought there might be some sort of a problem with the file, so I deleted it and when I retry the process it does not create the log file at all.
I'm not certain what's wrong, but I think the permissions on the directory are O.K. - not certain what to do next?
