    Hey guys, 

     

    I've been looking around the SEPM and still I cant find how to block the "Disable Symantec Endpoint Protection" when you rightclick the SEP Client on a computer. Can anyone show me the way? I'm using SEP 12.1.2

     

    Thanks,

    To prevent users from disabling Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) on their client:

    Step 1: Remove the right to disable Network Threat Protection:

    1. Open the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
    2. Click Clients.
    3. Select the group that contains the clients you want to be affected.
    4. Click Policies.
    5. Expand Location-specific Settings.
    6. Click Tasks to the right of "Client User Interface Control Settings", then click Edit Settings.
    7. Select Server control or Mixed control if it is not already set to one of these.
    8. Click Customize.
      • If Server control is enabled this will open the Client User Interface Settings dialog.
      • If Mixed control is enabled this will open the Client User Interface Mixed Control Settings dialog.

         
    9. Uncheck Allow users to enable and disable Network Threat Protection.

    Hello D@ry1,

    Since you are running the Symantec Endpoint Protection SBE 12.1, you may check this Article:

    How to block a user's ability to disable Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition on Clients

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH172434

     

    In case you are Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, then you can determine the level of interaction that you want users to have on the Symantec Endpoint Protection client. Choose which features are available for users to configure. For example, you can control the number of notifications that appear and limit users' ability to create firewall rules and virus and spyware scans. You can also give users full access to the user interface.

    The features that users can customize for the user interface are called managed settings. The user does not have access to all the client features, such as password protection.

    To determine the level of user interaction, you can customize the user interface in the following ways:

    • For virus and spyware settings, you can lock or unlock the settings.

    • For firewall settings, intrusion prevention settings, and for some client user interface settings, you can set the user control level and configure the associated settings.

    • You can password-protect the client.

    To password-protect the client

    1. In the console, click Clients.

    2. Under Clients, select the group for which you want to set up password protection.

    3. On the Policies tab, under Location-independent Policies and Settings, click General Settings.

    4. Click Security Settings.

    5. On the Security Settings tab, choose any of the following check boxes:

      • Require a password to open the client user interface

      • Require a password to stop the client service

      •  Require a password to import or export a policy

      • Require a password to uninstall the client

    6. In the Password text box, type the password.

      The password is limited to 15 characters or less.

    7. In the Confirm password text box, type the password again.

    8. Click OK.
