Hi, I've just finished setting up a new server with SBS2008 and am now trying to setup SEP 11.
I have installed SEMP on the server OK, reconfigured live updates to use a local admin OK (as server is on an MoD secure intranet)
Updated the server with latest updates - So Far So Good
Next I searched for unmanaged clients and found 2, the server and a laptop I'm using as a test client.
I selected install to client and the server said successful but the laptop failed, however after playing with the Windows Firewall exceptions settings on the client, I was eventually able to deploy to the client laptop as well.
When I restarted the laptop it did not ask me if I wanted to use the Client Firewall instead of the Windows one, (like it always did with AV10 etc) so now I have two active firewalls !!!
From the SEP Manager if I try to remotely scan or update either or both clients I just get an error message saying that I need to wait until the clients have logged in. If on the laptop client I try to manually update the definitions, it just says waiting for server to respond.
I suspect that it might me the as yet unremoved windows firewall, but as it has not been automatically removed and the option to switch it off is removed and I don't know how to remove it in Group Policy, I was wondering if there was an easier way of doing it from SEPM ???
Or is my problem the result of something else ? I found an article about if SEP & WSUS both use the default web page, but they don't appear to, each one is listed separately, so I don't know ??
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Regards, Dave.
