Hi All,

We meet again. Happen that one of our user had his SEP run random full scan out of nowhere.... below is our current settings:

 

1) Scheduled full scan at Friday afternoon

2) Retry after 3 days...

 

Today is Thursday....means its already past the 3 days set...

 

Any way we can check what instructed SEP to run full scan?

 

 

regards

Hi, Mentioned issue is

Hi,

Mentioned issue is resolved in RU7, Check RU7 release notes,

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

Unexpected scheduled scans after client migration

Fix ID: 2108139
Symptom: After migrating from Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 RU5 to RU6, an unexpected scheduled scan starts.
Solution: The migration process correctly invalidates scan randomization values if migrating from a version that does not support the feature
 
If possible upgrade to SEP RU7 & check issue persist or not.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I believe for fresh install there should not be any issue.

You can test with 2-3 clients.

In your environemnt it's happening after upgrade or it's a fresh install ?

What will happen when a scan is delayed?

Will it retry past the retry limits set in SEPM? (lets say we set retry after 3 days)

Hi All, I have to bump this

Hi All,

I have to bump this topic.

 

1) Will Windows UAC somehow block SEP scheduled scan?

 

2) If user is logged out from Windows, will communication between the SEP client and SEPM affected?
