Hello,

Why wait till SMC service gets stopped? Why not provide a protection to the SMC services?

You can determine the level of interaction that you want users to have on the Symantec Endpoint Protection client. Choose which features are available for users to configure. For example, you can control the number of notifications that appear and limit users' ability to create firewall rules and virus and spyware scans. You can also give users full access to the user interface.

The features that users can customize for the user interface are called managed settings. The user does not have access to all the client features, such as password protection.

To password-protect the client

1. In the console, click Clients.

2. Under Clients, select the group for which you want to set up password protection.

3. On the Policies tab, under Location-independent Policies and Settings, click General Settings.

4. Click Security Settings.

5. On the Security Settings tab, choose any of the following check boxes:

   • Require a password to open the client user interface

   • Require a password to stop the client service

   •  Require a password to import or export a policy

   • Require a password to uninstall the client

6. In the Password text box, type the password.

   The password is limited to 15 characters or less.

7. In the Confirm password text box, type the password again.

8. Click OK.

Agree with Mithun, you can set the password the stop/uninstall the symantec. So that no one can have access to stop it without your permission

You can set this alert if you were using SNAC. You can implement the password suggestion above as well. Also, you can protect the SEP services using an application and device control policy.

Agree with Mithun As well, Because if you set the password on service then no one can able to stop it with out permission.

my requirement is that if any engineer stop the service, log/email will generate?

If you're using Application and Device Control than yes as you can set an alert for Applicaton Control events. The rule would be related to protecting client files and registry keys.

Otherwise, there is no way to currently do this that I know of.
