Endpoint Protection

Hello everyone.

I'm starting the migration project from SEP11 RU7 to SEP12 RU2 and we are have a problems with this migrating only in machine with Windows 7(Win8 and WinXP work correctly)

When upgrading the SEP, after a while, the machines appear with the network adapter disconnected from the network, but the device is not disable.

The problem is only solved when the antivirus is uninstalled.

I noticed this problem only on machines with windows 7 and that windows XP is not the same.

Someone came to have this kind of problem?

Check the solution to see if it fits your case as well.

Depending on the number of machines you may want to remove the previous SEP 11.7 version and install 12.1 fresh - this should not cause similar problems.

Hi

Have u kept the setting "Remove Previous logs and communications setting"

Hello,

Hope you have the UAC disabled.

When restarting the Windows 7 machine, do you still face the same issues?

What happens when you try installing a Fresh installation on Windows 7 machine?

 

Hello everyone. I opened a case to Symantec analyse and it was concluded that is the bug with the version SEP12.1 RU2, only when we make the upgrade on computers that running Windows 7. Thank you all and if you are having the same problem I recommend opening a case with Symantec for a quick response and to accelerate the release of new version SEP12 RU2 MP1

Not sure you can accelerate release of the new version in any way - it comes out when its ready:D - which should happen around the end of March/beginning of April - no confirmed date as of yet,

Yes SebastianZ you have the reason when you say that: "We cant accelerate the release" but we need to do something for Symantec to understand our concern and support us with greater efficiency and speed. Our clients get stressed when it happens and we not have a plausible answer or a time for resolution. what always happens is that Symantec say: "Hold on when we're ready to make available so we are ready" And our customers? but this channel is not used for that, it's just a comment, Thanks for your post and have a great day.

Migration from Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.5 or higher to Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU2 and removing Network Threat Protection causes network instability

Fix ID: 3063813

Symptom: When upgrading from a later version of Symantec Endpoint Protection with the firewall component installed to a Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU2 install package without the firewall, the network may not load upon reboot.

Solution: Updated the migration mechanism for removing Teefer3 components from prior Symantec Endpoint Protection versions during the firewall uninstall.

 

 

@SebastianZ - If it wasn't for another member sharing that Etrac (Fix ID) I could have wasted another 4 hours on the phone with yet another technician wanting to troubleshoot the "new" & "unknown" issue.
