Endpoint Protection

In this topic https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-1105002-xp-sp3 Kurt G. say that there is workaround to run Symantec without the "event notification service"

And that I should contact support to get the workaround.

I opened a case on the support (ID 412935516) but the support personal told me that it is impassable and I have to enable the  "event notification service" to use SEP, I Do not want to enable the  "event notification service" because it’s a PC connected to a TV screen in the lobby showing videos so getting notification popups is unaccepted

I use SEP 11 MR6 managed

Thank you

Yu could definitely stop the system event notification serviceor even disable it. Symantec Endpoint  protection would still work , without any issues.

However, you could not stop/disable the Symantec event manager  service, as the  Symantwec endpoint protection service is dependent on this...

Hwever, you could also Disable Various Notifications from SEPM, or  SEP client.

Possible workaround-

. If no system event notification service exists, remove dependency for symantec management client service from registry.
- take a registry backup.
- navigate to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SmcService and delete the Value "DependOnService.
- close registry.
- reboot is required at this time.

that Kurt G. referring to?

will it cause any malfunction in SEP?

it will not, it will get created again..in any case have the registry backed up

Correct it will not cause any issue..However as per best practice backup Registry
