Hi Team,
Today am trying to upgrade my SEP 11.x client to SEP 12.1 RU1 which getting rollback and error shows Base Filtering Engine service is stopped.
Can you please let me know which are services does require running during upgradation from SEP 11.x to 12.x.
regards,
Ben.
can you post the sep_inst.log?
Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and start the Base Filtering Engine service.
Then try installing SEP.
Hi Pete,
I have successfully upgraded to SEP 12.1 after starting services of BFE. But the thing is that customer have complaince policies in which BFE service need to be disable and now they want us to provide a list of services does SEP 12.1 need to be run for upgrading clients.
Regards,
Ben
I mean what are the services does SEP 12.1 require which really needed to be running. I found Base Filtering Engine one of them.
though there is no article I could find related to services that are necessary to SEP 12.1 to install, however I can say this would the service that is required to be started in Win 2008 and Win 7.
Check to know more about this service

Hello,
I agree with Pete, "Thumbs up" to his Suggestion.
Check this Article:
But it really require running during installation? as the above provided article is the of an issue for post installation.
It seems that the Service is needed to be in started mode when Installing / Migrating to check if there is a user mode filter set.
Again, the question arises why Turn it off why Microsoft recommends to keep it running.
I tried stopping service of Base Filtering Engine and after which I get the same error with rollback. Mean this service is really needed for upgradation.
