Disable Scanning after Live Update on Unmanaged client

$

I need a solution

SEP unmanaged version 12.1:

 

This is a followup to a similar issue:

"The last two Windows 7 computers I have set up run multiple scans daily. This despite the fact that I disabled the active scan on startup and the scheduled active scan. When I review the virus and spyware scan log, I can see the scans that have been run. The only clue is "logged by" manual scan.

It appears to happen at various times, 3 times a day. I can assure nobody is running these scans manually. Please advise."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Note: Any unexpected scedules have been verified and deleted in the registry as per instructions. 

I understand that by default, once new definitions are loaded by Live update, SEP will automatically initiate one of the scheduled scans (if any exist). 

However, I would like to disable this behavoir on an unmanaged client. 

Since there is no checkbox available, is there a registry option for this behavior?

Thanks,

I need a solution

Hi,

I administer a network with more than 500 servers, with Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008. All machines has the 11.0.4242.75 version of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Many machines have been installed from a cloned image of the operating system with sysprep, and the antivirus installed. Now, in the SEP Management console, some of the machines are missing, and when one machine updates its policy, appears in the console in place of other. For example, we have server1, server2, server3, all with the antivirus installed, the console shows just server2. We log into server1, update the policy, and in the console server2 dissapears and server1 appears. Then, update the policy in server3, and server1 dissappears and server3 appears.

How can we solve this problem? We have tried to uninstall the client and install again, and the problem persists. We have more than 50 servers affected.

Thank you

SEP Time Stamp Issue

I need a solution

Hi,

We are using SEPM 11.0.7 version,Currently we are facing issue with SEP time stamp issue.

We are pulling out the risk logs using RSA Envision 4.x version, Event create and End date is perfect but there is a mismatch in Event inseryt time.

 

Example : if we pull the yesterday risk logs it gives the report like

<ip> <system name> Event create date and time:04/12/13 12.xx.xx Event insert time : 04/12/2012 12.xx.xx Event end date:04/12/13 12.xx.xx

if you look at the above said example the create and end time stamp is 2013 and the insert time is 2012.

is this known issue with Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Looking forward promp solution.

Thanks in Advance.

 

 

 

SEPM upgrade hung?

I need a solution

I'm in the process of upgrading to 12.1.4 and followed the upggrade document. Everything appeared to be fine and a box came up saying the files were successfully upgrade and to click Next to proceed to the database upgrade. I did click Next and waited and waited but nothing came up after roughly 15 minutes.I rebooted the server thinking this may help but still nothing. I'm stuck on how to proceed. I'm fairly new to this process and was hoping for community support before opening a ticket.

I was upgrading from 12.1.2. Server 2008 R2. x64.

Thanks!

LUA 2.3.2.99 download schedule constantly fails

I need a solution

Hi,

I have a new installation of LUA v2.3.2.99 running on Windows Server 2012, along with SEP clients 12.1 RU2.

Everytime i have manually ran or scheduled the download task on the LUA, it fails at various stages, usually between 50-85%.  At the moment i have the download job set to run and grab all the Symantec Endpoint Protection v12.1 RU2 components.

I've tried clearing down all the download directories temp, program files, program data directories, but still the download fails.  I have noticed that LUA is trying to download near 5gb worth of data each time.  I can confirm that the LUA has access to the internet and i can access the Symantec Liveupdate URL's

Might also be worth noting that we have 2 LUA setups, one live and on backup on different sites, the download task has failed to complete on both sites.

I've tried looking through various other posts and the suggestions in them but with no luck.

Anyone else to bounce some idea's off, or were to look for clues to why it's constantly failing?

Thanks,

John

Hi Expert's.

Looking for a confirmation, Will a SEP policy apply to a client if the client does not have that sep feature installed?

I have installed a sep agent on a system without Intrusion Prevention feature. but I have put that client to a Group that does have a policy assigned for IPS.

So that policy will work or not on that system.

SEP clients not getting A/V def. updates from SEPM server.

I need a solution

I'm having an issue with some of my SEP clients not updating A/V definitions from the SEPM server. They call all ping the SEPM server but for some reason, some workstations are not getting the latest virus def. When I launch the SEPM console, the semsvc CPU usage jumps between 30%-60% and it slows to a crawl. The communication settings are set to Push mode with heartbeat interval set on 5 minutes. Even when right click one of the troublesome machines on the Clients section and select Update Content, it shows that it completes but the client machines still reads antivirus and antispyware definitons are out of date On the smc-server-0.log, there area bunch of these errors:

SEVERE: Error while extracting full content under c:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\tomcat\..\inetpub\content\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\Full

Upgrade from SEPM 12.1.2 to SEPM 12.1.4

I need a solution

Hello,

We have 3 SEPM servers that are in one site connected to one database (SQL 2008) .  We want to upgrade the SEPM servers to the latest release.  Because we have so many clients that are depending on the SEPM servers, we want to be cautious, and only upgrade two SEPM servers in case anythng goes wrong, we will have 1 SEPM server still on the old version.

Does the logic above make sense and will it work?  Can we have a mix version environment of SEPM servers in the same site connecting to one database? Or will the 3rd server not work?

Thanks,

Hi

I've installed the 12.1 RU4 version in some Macintosh clients and I presented the problem: LiveUpdate fails when run manually through client interface

I tryied to run the LiveUpdate, as the article recomends, using the LUTool, but I  get the following message:

I have a Windows Server (http://10.1.2.2/checaav/MacintoshUpdatesAV/) as Internal LiveUpdate Server.
I update the definitions, using the LiveUpdate Administrator Utility (1.5), once a week; Just in case I've allready checked the Symantec Endpoint Protection v12.1 RU4 product line.
Other SEP for Mac clients (RU2) update well with the same LiveUpdate schema.
 
Any idea what is causing this problem?

SEP 12.1.4 Mac Client not getting IPS udates

$

I need a solution
I recently upgraded to SEP 12.1.4 and am having a little issue getting IPS updates for Macs.  The SEPMs were installed mid-November and after initial configuration and testing, the properly exported Mac clients were installed on 12/2/13.
 
We only have about 20 Macs out of 950ish total endpoints so a LU Administrator server isn't really called for.  Our endpoints can only get to the Internet through authenticated proxy so doing passive LiveUpdates from the Mac directly to the Symantec web site doesn't work.  So, I set up an Apache reverse proxy configuration on the SEPMs for the Macs.  The Reverse Proxy setup seems to work pretty good for AV updates but it doesn't appear to work at all for IPS updates. 
 
On the SEPM home page the "Out of Date" row in Endpoint Status" shows only the Macs, and only the IP Signature column is shown as "out of date".  I visited the "Virus Definition and Security Updates" web page and there is no mention of IPS Signatures for SEP 12.x for Mac-just the traditional antivirus.
 
This all leads me to believe one or more of the following: 1. Symantec doesn't know that SEP 12.1.4 for Mac now has IPS and therefore doesn't feel the need to supply updates for it, or  2. the Apache Reverse proxy doesn't download IPS Signatures for Mac and that special feature isn't documented anywhere, or  3. There are no IPS Updates for Mac since 11/27/13 and nobody told the SEPM that that the signature isn't really out of date.
 
I'd love to make this problem go away so I can get my upline out of my face. 
 
Does anybody have any insight?
