Endpoint Protection

I saw that Sun released Java 7 earlier today, so I figured that I better install it on a machine to test compatibility. Note: installing Java 7 does not update Java 6u26. So to ensure I was testing against Java 7, I had to uninstall Java 6u26 as well.

Here's my results on a Windows 7 x64 computer:

I can no longer go to http://sepmserver:9090 and install/launch the Java based SEPM console. The button has changed to "Download Java 6" which doesn't do anything. If you already had the SEPM console installed before upgrading to Java 7, I can still launch it and log in. However, it gets stuck at "loading" and the only way to kill it is to terminate the javaw.exe process in Task Manager.

I can go to http://sepmserver:9090 and launch the Java based SEPM console and then log in with my credentials. However after logging in, it comes up to the "loading" screen and locks up. The only way to kill the console window is to terminate the javaw.exe process in Task Manager.

Hi,

so, it seems we need to add the conclusion:

wait for the official Java 7 supportability from Symantec before using it to access to your SEPM consoles and continue to use Java 6 or move to Java 7 but use the web based remote SEPM console.

I've never had success with Java.

The ONLY version that worked for me was 6u7. That's it. If I upgrade to any other version, the remote console does not work as it will just lock up and I have to kill javaw.exe.

Any idea how long that wait will be? I'm just curious.

Thanks.
