    What is the operating system? 32 or 64 bit?

    Have you rebooted the clients after doing the install?

    Hello,

    You are running the Version of SEP 11.x

    Just to Let you know that Proactive Threat Protection is currently not supported with a Server or 64-bit OS.

    Are these machine 64 bit machines / servers?

    In case if these are 64 bit machines, you may like to check this Document -

    Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 compatibility with 64-bit platform

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102143

    and incase of Servers, then the Proactive Threat Protection would show itself as "OFF", check this Article:

    Proactive Threat Protection status shows "OFF" in the client interface

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104987

    Now, in reference to the "Security Status - Attention Needed", could you let us know what do you see under the Attention reports?

    Dear Mithun, 

     

    you are right. The symantec server is running in a server which is a 2008 r2 64 bit server. Some 2003 servers also 64 bit server but all client computers are also win xp sp3. 

    1. Management Console on top it appears Server status shows Security Status - Attention Needed  

     

    2. In client machine some machines it shows proactive threat protection Off and some it shows on. all our machiines are winXP 32 bit with SP3

    If 64 bit and server than what you're seeing is normal and as designed.

    See this KB article:

    Symptoms
    A client installation package for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.x or 12.x SBE client software is configured to include Antivirus and Antispyware Protection and Proactive Threat Protection (PTP). It is applied to a system running Windows Server 200x. Antivirus and Antispyware Protection is operating normally, but although PTP receives regular updates its status stays OFF.


    Cause



    This is expected behavior.


    Solution



    The "Scan for trojans and worms" and the "Scan for keyloggers" options are currently not supported on Windows server operating systems or 64-bit Windows XP Professional. The "Scan for keyloggers" option is also not supported on Windows 7.

    Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology is fully compatible with Windows server operating systems, and should be used to protect all servers.
    Note: Proactive Threat Protection is not the same thing as IPS. Proactive Threat Protection is not compatible with server operating systems.

    In order to enable IPS, you must have the client firewall portion of Symantec Endpoint Protection installed and running. This can seem like a problem if you want to run IPS but do not want to use the firewall. To work around this, withdraw the firewall policy. This ensures that IPS is enabled and protecting your network without forcing you to use the client firewall.
