Just got off the phone with

Just got off the phone with Symantec Support.

They had me create a batch file with the below in it.  We then scheduled it to run on a weekly basis through the "Scheduled Task" list.

 

net stop semsrv

net stop SQLANYs_sem5

attrib -r "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\sem5.log"

del "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\sem5.log"

net start SQLANYs_sem5

net start semsrv

 

Hope this helps as I've ran into this a few times now with Small Business Edition.

Thanks,

Andy

How To

Hi All,

For those who would have difficulties, go to the How To:
