Endpoint Protection

Following the directions layed out by Symantec, I would stop the services for the SYmantec EndPoint Manager and then go through the instructions provided by Microsoft to move the SQL 2005 database to a new drive.  Great!  So, how do I point the Symantec EndPoint Manager to the new database location?

Thanks,

Joseph

 

Run the Management Server Configuration Wizard and you can change the DB info during this process.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

I would be glad to answer your query.

You should refer this article to accomplish this task.

Thank you both for your answers. Now if the DB is not a SQL DB and resides inside the Symantec EndPoint Manager folder, what are my options? IS there a way to empty the DB and have it start over, or should I be considering pointing this to a new DB in the same folder after deleting the old DB file? What would be the best way to accomplish this?

The embedded DB can't be moved. You would need to move the SEPM to a new machine or re-install.

Hello,

In that case you need to perform disaster recovery.
