  • 1.  Failed to start the Symantec Management client service

    Posted Sep 02, 2009 04:53 PM
    I have Symantec Endpoint protect vrs. 11.0.3001.2224 installed.  Something has happened in the last week (other issues) that has prevented it from loading at startup.   When I try to start it from the start menu I get the following message - It appears client managemement is not running - do you want to start it?  If I click on yes I get the following:  Failed to start the Symantec Management client service Error code returned:  0x80070422.  Anybody have any clue how to fix this?
