My Domain server has this problem 2 weeks ago. it worked fine before.
About every one day, the DC server will automatically create user's profile under "document and setting" in server. No roaming profile was set. when we have this problem, we cannot access the shared folder in server. Restart the server solve it temporary but about 10 hours later, same problem come again.
I searched the solutions for this problem, some one suggested uninstall symantec, so I stopped all symantec service in DC server, and seems the problem fixed.
we use symantec antivirus version 10.1.5.5002.
any one know how to fix it?
Any suggestion would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Ant

I have Symantec Deployment Center 5.7.0 install on one server and DHCP setup on our domain controller. I have option 60 set to PXEClient and option 66 set to the ip address of the server with deployment center installed.
I get this error when boot PXE
PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did not reply to request on port 4011
If i put DHCP on the Deployment center computer and use just option 60 it works.
Both servers and client are on the same subnet and there is no router in between so i cant use a IP helper.
What am i missing?

Hi all,
It's time to start planning the Trusted Advisor Retreat for the Endpoint Management and Virtualization advisors. And I want your feedback to make sure that you have a great time.
The retreat is tenatively planned for the first week of March, 2010. At the retreat we are planning an afternoon of Q&A and conversations with the team in the Lindon, UT office. We are also planning some fun activities such as skiing and visiting the Olympic Park ski jumps and bobsled tracks. Plus, a few more surprises thrown in. This would be an all-expenses-paid trip and you can bring one guest.
Here is what I need to know:
1. How does the first week in March look for your schedules?
2. Who would you be most interested in meeting in the office?
3. What topics would you like covered?
4. Any special activities requests?
And, don't worry. We're still planning on inviting the TA to VISION in April. For that event, we anticipate that we will cover hotel and conference costs, and each of you would be...

Gluttony: Migrating more than you need to by not cleaning things up first
Organizations often use an OS migration as a time to evaluate the applications, software and other data files they have on the organization’s existing endpoints. They can also use this time to plan their go-forward imaging standards. Those organizations that don’t go through this evaluation and planning process may be migrating more than is necessary (gluttony) once they begin the migration process.
One of the first critical decisions will be determining the specific deployment standards and processes to be used during the migration and, optimally, on a go-forward basis. This could be a considerable undertaking depending on the organization and their existing processes. For example, some IT departments may manage 30+ images that quickly become a logistical nightmare, draining time and resources away from other, more critical issues. However that same company may only need five images to accomplish...

LUST: Lusting after the latest version before figuring out what makes sense for your organization
Before organizations can successfully migrate to Windows 7, they need to know what is in front of them and then formulate the right game plan. While most businesses will benefit from upgrading, lust for the latest version can be like merging into the fast lane without checking your blind spot. If a company’s focus is solely making the switch as soon as possible, it might not take necessary precautions to minimize the time and adjustment for end users.
More importantly, a Windows migration project is not just driving a refresh of the operating system, it can also drive key decisions that will likely impact IT organizations for years to come. Organizations should take advantage of the planning time to re-evaluate hardware vendors, software vendors, security strategies and long term management strategies.
To get started you need to launch the migration project. This planning...

PRIDE: Believing that the built-in security and backup technology is all you need
Many businesses operate under the assumption that built-in security and backup technology is enough to protect their information. To be truly protected against today's increasingly complex and organized cyber attacks, you need a comprehensive, integrated security solution that provides multiple layers of protection, in addition to scalable backup.
In 2008 alone, Symantec detected more than 1.6 million new malicious code threats worldwide, according to the Internet Security Threat Report XIV. This explosion in the number of malicious code threats, coupled with the continued trend towards Web-based attacks, reinforces the growing need for cooperative security and backup responses. Individual point products and add-on functionality are no longer sufficient to protect against today’s attacks, which are designed specifically to steal sensitive information for financial gain.
Many of these...

My laptop was stolen a few weeks ago. I have 10 months left on my subscription with Norton and I want to transfer the security over to another laptop. How do I go about doing this?
Any help appreciated. The website was of very little help.
Thanks

There is a reason the 7 deadly sins are “deadly.” Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride encompass the failings of human nature that cause so many problems in life.
They also accurately characterize some of the pitfalls waiting for companies that leap into a Windows 7 migration too quickly, without ensuring they are prepared. These potential pitfalls range from management to back up to security and can disrupt the entire process.
However, the deadly sins of migration can be avoided. With the right planning and tools in place, Windows 7 can be an opportunity rather than a challenge. It can give companies a blank slate on which to build a better infrastructure and implement more comprehensive security practices.
This daily blog series will explore the 7 deadly sins of a Windows 7 migration and show how these vices can be turned into virtues. Check back tomorrow for the first of our 7 blogs.

At first I was bummed out when the catalog went away boo hoo no cruise. Then I looked at Amazon and realized how sweet this deal is. I had over 25000 points so I shopped a lot which is great since I like to shop. First I got some "Pergo flooring" to redo the dining room and living room in my home. Then I purchased a new gas range for the kitchen. I got a Wii fit system, an IPOD for my son, a blue ray DVD player, a reciprocating saw, a scan tool for car repairs my husband wanted this stuff. One dual 9” DVD gaming system for my daughters' car, 2 mongoose bicycles for my grandsons, a Sony 12.1 mega pixel digital camera, some mineral makeup, advantage for the dog, a couple of memory sticks one for the camera and one for a gaming system, an extra Wii controller. The Fedex and UPS drivers were delivering to my house like it was Christmas which by the way I have covered with all my purchases. Thanks Symantec I got a bonus this year just by submitting some articles and being...

Here are a few suggestions for the Symantec Licensing Portal
The ability to add a Certificate number to pull in all the licenses on that Certificate instead of adding each Serial Number.
When drilling down to the details of the license, you don’t know when it will expire. We have to go back to the original email or paper certificates to verify when we have to renew or rely on the Symantec Licensing Renewal emails.
At the portal you could prompt the user that their licenses for XYZ product is about to expire with an option to acknowledge the reminder and to not remind them again in case they intend for the license to expire.
The ability to print your original certificate from the site.
In general, better license management capabilities on the site would make life easier for IT managers who don’t' have enough licenses to qualify for the co-termination of their licenses and have their renewals spread throughout the year.

Let me start off by saying that I have been fortunate enough to order quite a couple of things however, some have been nightmares.......
So, a couple of months back I ordered a Nintendo Wii as one of my gifts (01 Aug 2009 08:09 AM) then a three days later (04 Aug 2009 08:59 PM) I get confirmation that my item is ready and going to be shipped that me as normal via DHL ;)
"The item is now available and will be sent to the Shipping Department today for preparation. It will be sent to you by DHL International Mail and the shipping details will be sent to you when they are available. We hope you receive and enjoy this reward."
Two weeks later I had still not received confirmation on my DHL Tracking number (18 Aug 2009 03:27 PM) so I opened the ticked again asking what was happening. The same day, I received confirmation again that there was an issue with DHL and they would let me know my tracking number as soon as it was processed.
"I apologize for the delay...

Don’t fall victim to piracy, educate yourself to protect yourself.
PIRACY CAN COST YOU YOUR IDENTITY!
Pirated software is more likely to contain spyware, which after installation can steal personal and confidential information (for example credit card, bank account, passwords, address book information, etc.) from your computer without your knowledge. Stolen information can be exploited immediately through pirated software by identity thieves.
PIRACY CAN COST YOU YOUR COMPUTER!
Pirated software can make your computer more vulnerable to virus attacks which can lead to loss of irreplaceable files or corruption to other software on your computer. In some cases, pirated software can lead to the destruction of your computer by permanently damaging the hard drive or other components.
Here are a few warning signs:
Too good to be true pricing:
Prices 30% below MSRP are suspicious
Purchase software only from reputable companies. When purchasing from websites make sure...

Here is a reward that Symantec could offer for basicly no cost, that I for one would really appreciate: Symantec licenses for my own computers at home.
Everyone contributing to Symantec Connect is a professional supporting Symantec products. Pretty safe bet we all have computers at home - probably most of us have multilple ones. I bet I'm not the only one running VMWare, VirtualBox, or another virtualization tool to build out virtual machines for different uses. Any time I build a computer or VM at home, I have to decide what to do about AV. I would think that Symantec would love to give me Endpoint Protection rather than have me go out and download the free Avira or Microsoft Security Essentials.
A lot of my personal VM's are Linux. We aren't using Symantec on our Linux boxes at work, so I would think Symantec would be thrilled to have me doing it at home, so when the time comes here at work, I already know how to do it.
Since the cost to Symantec would...

I would like to suggest the ability to recive email notification when a new post is made to forum topics, blogs and articles etc without having to post in those threads, blogs or articles. I think this ability would be great because sometimes you want to be informed of new posts without having to contribute to the forum thread, blog or acticle or subscripting to multible rss feeds.
