Secars test failing
I'm having alot of strange issues in the past few weeks. I recently upgraded the SEPM to RU5, however as far as I can tell these issues started before that upgrade. The clients are all still running earlier versions. I've had a case open with Symantec for a week and a half now with almost no results. I know everyone here can help me more than tech support has.
I'll list a few of the symptoms here to see if anyone else is having similar issues. I'm wondering if all or some of these issues are related to secars. I recently realized that the secars test is failing no matter where I try it, including the SEPM. The majority...probably 95% of clients are perfectly happy - with no issues at all.
Symptoms:
1. Clients completely stopping connections to the SEPM. Last check in, weeks ago. SMC logs don't show any obvious problem.
2. Clients showing green dot - SEPM showing no green dot. Last check in time - very recent. Some of these clients get def updates, some do not.
If this is related to the secars problem, what kind of things can I do to troubleshoot. I have turned on logging in IIS for secars. I see GET's but no POST's in the logs. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

HI
Check your IIS logs you wil see lot of 401 erros , reset the passoword for IIS and it should work
Clients stop communicating with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) with HTTP 401 error in Sylink log and HTTP 401.1 error in IIS log
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2008032702341648
after resetting the sylink test secars you should get OK
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Rafeeq
You might also want to check for Duplicate Client Entries

Hi, You mentioned that the
Hi,
You mentioned that the secars test fails. Could you also mention the HTTP error you are getting. And make sure that you are using this article for the secars test.
To test connectivity from a client to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM), type the following URL In a web browser:
http://<SEPM_Server_IP_or_Machine_Name:Port>/secar...
Example: http://10.0.2.2:8014/secars?hello,secars
A successful connection returns a web page that displays "OK."
Troubleshoot any other message appropriately.

We have the opposite. Clients
We have the opposite. Clients all connect just fine - but the SECARS test fails everywhere! No ok, no nothing.
But clients are all current, check-in times are fine, and those that are NOT current in the SEM can be explained by the computer being turned off, asleep, etc. But no matter what computer I try it on, SECARS fails the test above!
That being said, I wonder how reliable a test that is if the TEST can fail but the CLIENTS work just fine?

Thanks...I'm going to check
Thanks...I'm going to check on all of these things and report back. ShadowsPapa, I'm not sure how clear I made it but that is the same situation here. All of the clients that are %100 fine (check in time, virus defs, etc.) also fail the secars test. Another thing I didn't mention is that a bunch of the client which have recent check in times, no green dot, and out of date virus defs, are still showing the previous policy. So they're "checking in" quickly but not doing anything else.... i.e. policy updates, virus def updates.
you may need to run the
you may need to run the sylinkmonitor and paste the results when you have manually clicked on the client gui for update policy.
Cheers!

OK
Secars test is working now. I'm still having these weird issues. Here is the sylink log from a problem client. One thing I want to mention is that some of the problem clients are in an area of the network which will be unable resolve the host name but in my understanding, should also be attempting to use the IP address. Some clients in this area of the network are working fine, others are not. So I don't think this is related...I'm only mentioning it in case the sylink log reflects this.
Here is the sylink log. If anyone has any suggestions at all, please let me know.

Hi
I agree that it would try to communicate first with IP and then hostname
however if you are not able to resolve the name it never gonna communicate.
you need to get your DNS settings set, do a nslook up if it resolves , then you should have a green dot.
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Rafeeq
Why would it not communicate
Why would it not communicate using the IP Address? I know that it's possible because there are many other clients in this exact same area of the network (can't use dns - extranet) which are working perfectly fine. Thanks
Hi
can you tell me whats the value of GlobalUserOffline under this key, check the value of these keys with one working client and non working client.
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings

I don't see it under
I don't see it under '.DEFAULT'. Should this exist in '.DEFAULT'? I only see it under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'. On a working machine it's showing 0. I'll check a broken machine under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' now.... I know it doesn't exist under '.DEFAULT' on the broken machine either, I've checked it previously. What exactly is this key used for? I see it mentioned all the time. Thanks
I also now have one client
I also now have one client which is happy on the client side and completely invisible to me on the SEPM....only thing that exists is an empty placeholder waiting in an OU. Ever seen that?
Would you like to reply?
