Installer package sent to the client but SEP didn't install

HI,
As I deploy SEP on the clients I used remote push deployment. I send the installer package and it was sent but SEP didn't install on the clients.

Can you post SEP_INST.log? It should be located in %temp% directory

Is this a clean installation or does the target machine has already some previous SEP version?
Hi,
There are no SEP or AV installed on the clients.
Hi Brian,

As you mentioned package was sent but did not install, can you check if local installation of that package manually works at all or fails as well?
Hi,
All local deployment was successful. It always fails in the push deployment. I turned off the windows firewall, UAC, I also disabled file sharing wizard.
Hi,
Do you have open below ports for push deployment ?
Ports used for client software deployment with the Push Deployment Wizard
Client computers
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager
TCP 139 and 445
Ephemeral TCP ports
Ephemeral TCP ports
TCP 139 and 445
UDP 137, 138

Prepare computers for remote deployment and management
Modify firewall settings to allow communication between Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition components:
■ Push deployment ports, used on management servers and clients: TCP 139 and 445, UDP 137 and 138, and TCP ephemeral ports.
■ For legacy communications, open UDP port 2967 on all computers.
■ General communication: TCP 8014 (HTTP)/TCP 443 (HTTPS) for management servers. These are the default ports, and may be customized. See Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1: How to Change the ports used for communication between the Manager and clients.

I think we will have to refer to the install log at the end - if the package goes through but fails to install on the client end - it will be reported in the log.
Hi Sebastianz,
Where is the destination folder of the logs?
Hi,
You can find %temp% SEP_INST.log.
Thanks In Advance

Check the disk space.
Hi All,
For the status of the push installation, it was successful. The installer package was sent and installed on the client, the problem is the clients are not reporting to the manager after reboot.
Can you verify in the client GUI if the server status is reported as connected? Please check if you can telnet from the client machine over port 8014 to the SEPM Server.
