SEP 12.1 Notification Conditions- How to update, none are available to edit
Created: 20 Sep 2012 | Updated: 02 Oct 2012 | 26 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I just upgraded to SEP 12.1. We are receiving some repeat notifications via email. My issue is that I cannot find where my notifications are configured so that I can modify them. I have checked in the SEPM Console, Monitors > Notifications but there are no conditions configured, however, I am receiving notifications via email. The other issue is that in the notification emails I am receiving, it lists the Administrator email address. This address is invalid (person doesn't work here anymore). Is it possible that even though I am an admin that I cannot see the notification conditions?

Chetan, Thank you for the reply/post. "View Notifications" is empty too. It seems that the upgrade went well, and the notifications are working, but they are no where to be found.
Hi,
I hope you have checked by clicking on 'Notification Conditions' tab.
If conditions are not present, run upgrade.bat file & recheck.
You will find it under C: or installed drive \Program Files or (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\bin\upgrade.bat

Under server node
right click on the site
check the address you have specified...
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Rafeeq
Rafeeq, where is the server node you are talking about? I am logged into the SEP Manager Console and I do not see SERVER anywhere. I have viewed the obvious places where the notifications should be and they do not exist. I cannot EDIT anything, because nothing exists.
check the report tab there would be the template set for email.
Cheers!
Pete

HI,
Kindly check.
How many Limited administrator account configure in SEPM console ?
Any other Limited administrator account Mail Notification are configured ?
If not available try to run upgrade.bat or Repair SEPM on add/Remove Program
Thanks In Advance

I am not a Limited Admin. I had the other admin check and his looks the same as mine, no notifications.
Did you look under:
Reports tab >> Scheduled Reports?
Should be under here

To all, I did try running the update.bat file. No change. I will run the repair option under add/remove programs see what happens. Thanks to everyone that has replied so far.
Hi,
Instead of running repair through add/remove program, try to repair it with the help of original setup files.

Sorry folks....none of the suggestions are working. Here is another item I noted. Prior to the upgrade, the emails being sent out were from NMONITOR@xxxxxxxxx.com this was the "from" address we had setup. Now the messages are coming from SEPM_Server@xxxxxxxxxxx.com.
Hi,
Could you please confirm the upgrade path?

Chetan, I know I came from 11.7.???? to 12.1 RU2 but I cannot find the exact version of 11.7 that I was running. If I recall, the software should have prevented me from upgrading had it not been supported.
Were the alerts created by a user that had been deleted from the system at some point?

Good questoin Brian..... YES. Now what?
In the past, I've always dealt with this by making a change to the DB itself. Not recommended but if you can, I would suggest doing this.

Thanks Brian, what do you use to access/modify the db? I also tried recreating the former admin... no luck.

I got tired of dealing with this so I went out and created another problem!!! My lack of experience and lack of patience with SEPM. I wiped out my installation and installed SEPM 12.1 from scratch. This may require a fresh post and close this topic.
1- SEPM is up and running and licensed (my upgrade did not appear to be licensed, nor could I find the place to activate it) ((with the fresh install, the license details are very easy to locate)).
2- I imported my old policies, but nothing else. I have no groups or clients. (I have manually created my groups)
3- Can I get the new install of 12.1 to communicate to my 11.7 clients (I do not know the encrypted password that was used with the previous installation).
Hi,

2- I imported my old policies, but nothing else. I have no groups or clients. (I have manually created my groups)
--> Actually there is a way recover the group structure however it's fine if you would have created them correctly
3- Can I get the new install of 12.1 to communicate to my 11.7 clients (I do not know the encrypted password that was used with the previous installation).
--> You can use sylink replacer tool to point existing SEP clients to the new SEPM manager.

You have not mentioned specific version details so I will prefer to deploy fresh new client packages.

Thank you Chetan!! I have been able to update the communications on the existing clients and I am starting to update those to 12.1.
Chetan, Do you know if I can recover a policy? I discovered that I did not export the policy for my mail servers and I am afraid to upgrade that client. I have the entire DIR structure copied (to another folder) from my old installation.
Hi,
About which policy are you talking about? Which policy you haven't exported?
