Endpoint Protection

Hello!

I have installed the Endpoint Security on my Dell D420 Win XPSP2 Laptop.

In the Device Manager there is an entry for "Deterministic Networks WAN Virtual miniport - Teefer2 Miniport".
This entry is checked with an exclamatin mark. When checking the details its says:

The Device could not be started (Code10).

When trying to deinstall the driver I get a message that it could not be deinstalled cause it maybe used to start the system.

Does anyone know about this and how to make it properly work ?

Thanks

Thanks for the answers.

But how do I fix the problem, that is is shown with an exclamation mark in the device manager ?

Any hints ?

Thanks
Y-Hardie

I did already uninstall and reinstall. Same error.

Any other ideas ?

after uninstallation of SEP 11 client from the server os, we see teefer2 driver in the device manager and we can't connect the server on LAN.

In few servers no traffic flows through LAN Port in others Lan port do not ping itself or take staic IP.

We have tried with disabling these teefer2 drivers and checked but the same result.

Please HELP!

Remove the Teefer2 driver

1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections.
2. Click a connection.
3. In the dialog, click Properties.
4. Select Teefer2 Driver and click Uninstall.
5. You will need to repeat these steps for each Network Connection.
6. Reboot the computer.

Also delete
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\teefer2.sys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Teefer2

I heard there is a tool available
Remove teefer is the tool, you need to open a case to get it

Using CleanWipe and the manual uninstall instructions for Symantec Endpoint Protection both did not resolve the Teefer 2 problem for me.

In my case, device manager listed my network card twice, but one of them said something like (Teefer 2) at the end. It also listed a third device related to Teefer 2. For example:

• Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC
• Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC (Teefer 2)
• WAN Miniport (IP) - Teefer 2 Miniport

Here's what I did (WinXP):

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Right click on the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC (Teefer 2) and choose Disable.
3. Right click on the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC and choose Uninstall. Both of the NIC should disappear.
4. Click Scan for Hardware Changes.

When I did this, the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC was automatically detected and installed, but the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC (Teefer 2) was not! I was instantly able to access the internet! Note that the WAN Miniport (IP) - Teefer 2 Miniport still shows in my device manager as Disabled and doesn't seem to affect anything.

If you are running into Teefer issues, please open a support ticket with Symantec. Ask for teefer removal tool. I think their advanced team has access to the tool. Also another workaround would be to install only NTP again on the machine as this would bind with the teefer. Then perform a manual uninstallation thro' Add or Remove Programs....

Also make sure to Cleanwipe only locally on the machine..never on a RDP session. not atleast on a non-console session...Chk this link..
