After rolling out Windows 7 images (with installed software) to PCs, the Symantec client is disabled. I am guessing that I disabled it at some point (using the taskbar icon, right-click, disable option) during preparation of the image and forgot to enable it again. At least I assume this is what happened.

So now I have a few hundred clients (rolled out with MDT) all requiring an administrator to manual right click and enable.

Is there a way that I can simple (re)enable these SEP clients so they run happily? I'm hoping for a command or scripted process that I could run from a group policy object.

(Incidentally, these clients are also not registering with the SEPM server so I don't think I can use the SEPM interface to issue instructions to them at the moment. This methodology of including the client in the image has worked in the past just fine. The priority is to get the SEP clients enabled. I'll worry about their registering in SEPM later unless it's important to have that happen too.)

Thanks
