    I follow the instruction in the the article https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH102822.html

    and works fine for OS windows vista and windows 7. but it doesn't work for the clients with OS of Windows Server 2008, 2012 and Windows 8.

    Is there any settings need to the latest Windows OS.

    Please advise.

     

    Thanks,

    Ryl

    Possibly. When you open the client GUI, what component shows as disabled?
