    Hi,

     

    There are many reasons which can lead to this situation.

    Please check belwo articles to fine tune SEPM.

    SEPM services take up a lot of CPU and become unresponsive:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH123922

     

    Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: Javaw.exe and/or semsvc.exe are consuming 100% of the CPU:

    Below settings can be helpful to digg out the exact cause underlying the issue.

    Hope this helps you!!

    this has only 2 GB , correct? can you increase it to 4 GB?

    how many clients are reporting to this server?

    Hello,

    I agree with Pete.

    Is this Machine performing any other tasks??

    What Database is being used by SEPM (SQL / Embedded)? If SQL, is it installed on the same server machine?

    System Requirements for Symantec Endpoint Protection and Network Access Control 12.1 Release Update 1 (RU1)

    However, the CPU usage seems to be normal in your case.

    only 2 GB avaliable and under testing now, so clients less than 5.now is version 12.1. does you mean the memory usage is normal with 1.7G???

    you should increase the memory to test it correctly even only few clients are reporting at this moment.

    did you check the performance tuning links, did you restart the SEPM service there after?
