client will talk to SEPM on

client will talk to SEPM on the configured port, if it is 8014 it should be open. Check the IIS manager to see the port that has been configured.

Hi, you mean

Hi,

You mean to say that the clients are not communicating on port 8014 now or they never communicated on that port no.

Check the below article for the ports used by Symantec for communication :

DO you mean the SEPM is

DO you mean the SEPM is installed on 8014?

It could be telnet might be blocked, can you run sylink on client and pass on the result.

It seems that the client

It seems that the client communication is customized on a different port.

 

As per Version is 11.0.6005 browse to following location :- C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection and look for sylink.xml.

 

This file is used for communication between SEPM and clients. When you open the file which would open is a web page (IE) by default, that would give us more info about which port client communication is configured on.

If possible could you upload sylink.xml file to confirm the same

Cheers!!

hi

its trying to communicate with server on port 8014.

on a command prompt  try this 

c:\>telnet SEPMservername 8014

does it connect?

it not u it might be somefirewall in between which is blocking the connection

alternatively you can try the secars test as in this document

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102682
