Endpoint Protection

Hi,

I don't know how this could happens ?

even after restarting the server, I still unable to start the SEPM server. Here's the error in the event viewer of my Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bit:

from the above it said that Faulting application Smc.exe, version 11.0.6005.440 which means that was the old version ? while the current installed is v12.1 RU1 not v11 anymore.

How is this possible ?

These are two different issues they may not be releated.

You can also try running managment server configuration wizard.

Start>Programs>Symantec endpoint protection manager>managment server configuration wizard.

the faulting application is becuase you are running SEP 11.ru6 client on the SEPM server machine. However the server is SEPM 12.1.

FOr server issue, can you pass on the scm-server-0.log from the tomcat\logs folder of SEPM?

for the faulting application can you try upgrading to 12.1 ru1 mp1?

Better check with the conf.properties file inside the folder

C;\Program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint protection Manager\Tomcat\conf

or

C;\Program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint protection Manager\Tomcat\etc

Make sure the file is not 0 bytes. If so then ur configurations for SEPM is corrupted you need to contact Symante support..

If possible upload the scm-server-o.log

C;\Program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint protection Manager\Tomcat\conf\conf.properties is 4 KB or not 0 KB which means it is good.

C;\Program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint protection Manager\Tomcat\etc\conf.properties is 2 KB or not 0 KB which means it is good too.

Here's the scm-server-0.log file:

 Run upgrade.bat wizard.

Edit####

 which will be located under "Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Bin"

Ashish, nothing happens when I execute thaqt batch file, it was just a flash of command prompt window ?

did you attempt to repiar theSEPM using add/remove program?

Hi,

try to repaire SEPM Add/remove program or installation DVD setup.

Check this thread

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/cant-log-sep-manager

take the necessary backup if you following the new install.

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH160736&key=54619

Yes I have Pete, by using the Database backup wizard.

It has generated 3.6 GB of Zip files already.

Well, I have repair the installation of this SEPM server and then after I click on the FInish button, I still got this error:

Hi John,

Check this blog may be help.

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/when-trying-open-sepm-windows-2008-server-error-could-not-find-main-class-comsygatescmtoolsdat

The problem is UAC. To make SEPMconsole working properly You need to dissable UAC

Ashish,

I have disabled the UAC and then performing the reboot, but somehow it doesn't work still ?

Please try.

Check One of symantec employee comments for another thread but different SEPM version

Vikram Kumar-SAV to SEP Symantec Employee Accredited

Yes I ahve execute the upgrade.bat from double clicking or even from the command prompt but somehow it failed to execute (got nothing than blank black prompt).

Here's the error message thatI received, I have also tried to run the Upgrade WIzard from the start menut but it doesn't show up anything ?

the log message is not clear , can you copy or attach the log?

hi John,

Do you have check this artical..

Event id 4096 Java -1 error in event viewer, SEPM service will not stay in started state. "Failed to connect to server" message during login to SEPM

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH181655

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Endpoint Status chart is not refreshing on Home screen after an upgrade from 12.1 RU1 to 12.1.1101.401 - Faulting application name: php-cgi.exe

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH191091

Ashish,

As per this article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH181655

the entry is already there "scm.db.datasource=jdbc/metadatabase"

but still the "Management Server Configuration Wizard" failed to launch. and this error Event ID 4096 is logged "The Java Virtual Machine has exited with a code of -1, the service is being stopped."

While for this article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH191091 I cannotsee any Event ID 1000 in the event viewer so it is not relevant to me.

have you opened a support ticket for the same?

Yes I have Pete,

and so far the solution is very simple , I wasn't thinking about this before, 

go to C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\clientpkg, install the jre-6u31-windows-i586.exe file into the default directory and then go to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6, copy and paste the the lib and bin directories, then

Overwrite the lib and bin directories under C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\jre

after that run the Management Server Configuration Wizard.

That seems to fixed the issue.

HI John,

We have try all of thing but we can't received any solution.

This is your last option You will be install fresh SEPM.
