  • 1.  SEP Support Tool Symantec Power Eraser doesnt work behind a proxy

    Posted Jul 20, 2010 03:30 AM
    I got problem to run the new feature Symantec Power Eraser included in the SEP Support Tool. There seems to be a proxy problem when connecting Symantec to get the Reputation database (also the Load Point Analys tell me Im behind a proxy) so the scan cant proceed.
    The strange thing is that the SEP Support Tool is able to update it self etc. without any proxy problem. Why this differents in communication? and is there anyone who know a workaround without take the client outside the proxy. Its not possible when working with 60000+ clients.

    Are you pointing to an automatic configuration file for your Proxy?  Can you point the client to the proxy itself instead?

    In your IE settings,

    Go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Connections >> Lan Settings >> Use automatic configuration script needs to be un-checked,
    and then check and set the >> Proxy Server address and port, then Power Eraser will work with a proxy server.

    It could be nice if it was possible to specify this some were in the power eraser. So we didn't need to make any changes to the system when fixing it.

    LGL, I am glad it worked for you.

    This issue will be addressed in the next version coming out in a couple weeks.

    Cheers,
