Disable Symantec Endpoint Protection
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
At client pc task bar, if we right -click the SEP icon, there is selection "Disable Symantec Endpoint Protection". If I select this choice, the green dot on icon will become red. Except the color change, what else will it disable? Will it disable AV/AS Auto-protection? Or it will disable all policies like Applicatio and device control policy? I have done testing. If I disable it, the application and device control policy is still working.

Turns off the protections that the administrator has given you permission to disable.
After you disable the client, the command text changes from
on all client protection.
"Disable" to "Enable." You can select this command to turn

For Peterpan, Why I ask this
For Peterpan,
Why I ask this question and why I disable SEP? I need to block client to use this option because it seem kind of risk if user can select this option. I found the solution to block this option in the forum. But in the meantime, it does not work for local admin. That means any user who has local admin right still can disable SEP. That is why I want to know what on earth the local admin can disable if he/she select this option.
Yesterday I also found the answer in this forum, it actually disable any function that has not been locked. If the function has been locked (like AV/AS Auto-protection), it cannot be disabled even the use select this option. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Thanks
Only network threat
Only network threat protection will be disabled.
