  • 1.  No connection to smc service

    Posted Jan 31, 2013 05:08 AM

    Hi All,

    In One of my client having windows 7,   I Installed sep 12.1 client package. 

    1. It is showing self managed :-I have tried by replacing sylink.xml file but it is showing same.

    2. At the task bar symantec shield it is showing No connection to smc service.

    and it is taking too much time for opening client user interface.

    Have a look at the general communication troubleshooting document:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55017

    ...what SEP 12.1 version are you using?

     

    There have been already cases where the cause of the problem was a broken installation:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH164993

    ...please try to cleanup /remove the currently installed product and reinstall it - if you can with the newest 12.1 RU2 version.

    Do you see the problem on several machines or is only one client affected? For starters go with the provided documentation for troubleshooting but as mentioned it may be as well caused by corrupted installation/update.

    Hi Sebastian, This is seen recently in two machine. I ran cleanwipe in 1 of the client and reinstall problem is solved but i think reinstall is not the only solution.

    Hello,

    I thing sep is not in stalled properly, Even disable the UAC on the system.

    Please go through the below.

    1. Run NPE tool on the system
    2. Run Cleanwipe Utility version 12.1
    3. Again install Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 client
    4. Reboot the system and then check.

    Yes, as mentioned in my previous post = most probably the troublesome/corrupted installation was the cause here - in such case there is quite little field for troubleshooting - reinstall is the best way to go.
