Endpoint Activity During Vista Network Login
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 2 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I am troubleshooting an issue with a mobile computer that has a docked-mode on a LAN that has the end point protection, and a mobile mode. When I dock, and logon to the network, the desktop does not reveal and a high-level of disk activity is occurring. I believe I have diagnosed it to the endpoint process, but do not know how to manage the endpoint service such that it will allow the login to complete before enacting a scan or whatever activity the software is choosing to complete. Is this a reasonable diagnosis of a problem, and how might I resolve this?

Without having more
Without having more information it is hard to say what is at the root of this issue. It could be many things but a process of elimination may be in order to help eliminate possibilities.
First I would disable Tamper Protection to rule it out.
To Disable Tamper Protection
Note: You can also disable the SPBBCDRv driver in the device manager
Note: If this resolves the issue you could also try to set exclusions for tamper protection
If that does not resolve the issue, next I would disable a single portion of the product one by one, testing each time, to determine which piece is the cause. For example I would first start by disabling (or uninstalling) Network Threat Protection and rebooting to test, if the issue persists then I would disable Proactive Threat Protection and test, and finally I would disable AutoProtect and test.

Once you know what piece of the product is at cause you can hone in your sights to know what settings need to be adjusted.
