Endpoint Protection

I've not been able to find an answer online. Is it possible to use something like SQL Server Management Express to connect to the embedded database? Are the steps to do that?

Thanks

Hello,

Symantec Endpoint Protection does not support MS SQL Server Express version. Use full version of MS SQL Server instead of the compact or express edition.

Check this Article:

When configuring the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM), it reports Error 11505: Unable to connect to the database.

Hope that helps!!

I dont think its possible . I have not done these , check these documents from Windows blog

Thanks, I was curious.

Yes it's possible. Under <SEPM installation folder>\ASA\win32 there is the dbisqlc.exe tool with which you can launch SQL queries against the embedded database. User ID is dba, password is your initial admin password of the SEPM console. (Bad luck if you don't have it anymore!)

Then connect with an ODBC data source and choose SymantecEndpointSecurityDSN.

If this tool is too ascetic for you, there are some free SQL GUI tools in the net which can be used as well. Some years ago I tried Anysql and it worked fine.
