Hello, I have a big problem with the console of Endpoint.
when I log on the application I get the error message in the object.
all the options are available but I can't see anything in the home, control and report tasks, there is a blnck page.

Recently I made only a change on the server: I promoted it as a domain controller (win2003)

I think it was this operation which made something.

Could You be so kind to help me?

Thank You
Grazie mille!!

hi

since you promoted it to DC
the problem is with IUSR account.

Please follow all the steps

Unable to communicate with the reporting component after logging into the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

open iis
right click symantec webserver
properties
under directory security check the iusr account ( it should be domain \iusr )
if not reset the password of IUSR acconnt and put it in here
try loggin , should work fine
