Hi All,

Please find the required tools to troubleshoot the DLP Endpoint agents v11.

Note:  Make sure that you extract them either using WinRar or 7 zip.

Short Description of tools that are included here:

1) Vontu_sqlite3.exe: This utility provides a SQL interface that enables you to view or modify the encrypted database files that the Symantec DLP Agent uses. Use this tool when you want to investigate or make changes to the Symantec Data Loss Prevention files.

2) Service_Shutdown.exe: This utility enables an administrator to turn off both the agent and the watchdog services on an endpoint computer. (As a tamper-proofing measure, it is not possible for a user to stop either the agent or the watchdog service.)

3) DeviceID.exe: You can use this utility to extract Device Instance ID strings. This utility also reports what devices the system can recognize for detection.

4) Logdump.exe: This tool lets you view the Symantec DLP Agent extended log files, which are hidden for security reasons.

5) GetAppInfo.exe: This utility helps in Application monitoring

6) RegDLPAgentmgmt.exe: This tool can be used to unregistering the DLP IC Agent plug-in.

7)UninstallPwdKeyGenerator.exe:  This tool is used to generate the value you use for UNINSTALLPASSWORDKEY within the Install_Agent.bat file. The tool must be in the same directory as PGPsdk.dll.

8) Update_configuration.exe: This tools helps in debugging.
 

 For Example:
update_configuration.exe -name=Logging -setting=FileSystemConnectorLevel -type=str -value=FINEST -p=VontuStop

On page 1202 of the 11.5 manual it says "create your own key using the 'endpointkeytool' utility". I do not see this utility in 11.5 or 11.1. Is this the same as the "UninstallPwdKeyGenerator.exe" tool? If you specify an uninstall password, do you have to specify a key as well?

Thanks,

Aaron

Okay, found the keytool on the Enforce server. But the other question of if you supply an uninstall password, is the key still needed?

Thanks,

Aaron

Can I move one endpoint agent from one EP server having a different encryption key without the need to uninstall the agent?

Objective: move one agent/machine which is experiencing some issues to a LAB environment where we can further debug and analyze errors.

 

Example:

Current Server values obtained using sqlite3:

AggregatorCommunicator|AESKey|str|EncryptionKey_ProdServer

AggregatorCommunicator|AggregatorHost|str|FQDN_Prod_EPServer

 

update_configuration.exe -name=AggregatorCommunicator -setting=AggregatorHost -type=str -value=FQDN_NewServer
update_configuration.exe -name=AggregatorCommunicator -setting=AESKey -type=str -value=EncryptionKEY_NewServer

Hi All,

 Need to uninstall DLP agent from the client machine.

1. I have uninstall the DLP agent from client via DLP console. The agent is not more in the DLP enforce list but when i want to install another agent on the same client it gives me error that you already have updated version of agent installed.

2. Means agent is uninstalled from ENFORCE Console but still installed on client.

3. Want to uninstall the agent manully on client machine.

commands that i have used for uninstallation

msiexec /uninstall {BC705572-C8CD-49e4-9693-BDC8E4D35570} /q
msiexec /uninstall {2AF3B399-42A5-42bd-A5E0-72B657110363} /q

 

But still it didnt work. any utillity that can be used.

 

Regards,

Kashif Sohail

Does UninstallPwdKeyGenerator.exe work for 11.6.2 and are these files available from Fileconnect?
