This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello

I have a hundred of computer working with SEP but there is a problem on one :
When I add Sylink.xml from the server group to the client (with SylinkDrop or direct import), on the client there is no green dot and in troubleshooting view the server is view as Offline and I haven't Policy serial number. At the same time on the server, this client appear with green dot in computer list but after a few seconds, the green dot disapear but the client is still present.

Client version is SEP 11.0.4.202.75 and this client is also the domain server with dhcp and dns server.
Server version is 11.0.4202.75

I use LiveUpdate to update all the definitions and product versions.

There is no firewall on both side, I have tried  :

I have lauch SEP Support Tool v1.0.1090 and one errors appear :

Can Symantec Endpoint Protection communicate with its Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager?

The Secars communication test failed for these consoles:
Site Port Http Code Error
192.168.0.1 8014 502

None of the listed Management servers have a DNS error.

The Secars communication test worked with these servers:
Site Port Http Code Error
192.168.0.1 8014 200
SEPSERVER 8014 200

I have also lauch SylinkMonitor when I manually update the client and I have :

07/30 16:44:02 [5836] <ScheduleNextUpdate>Manually assigned heartbeat=1 seconds

07/30 16:49:41 [5356] </CSyLink::mfn_DownloadNow()>

I have also check in the database with dbisqlc.exe if there are double name in table SEM_COMPUTER and SEM_CLIENT but nothing.

Have you any idea ?

Thank you

We need a longer sylink log

Hi,

I'd like to see a longer piece of the sylink.log. Enable it on the client, right click on the yellow shield of SEP and select "update policies", in this way the communication is triggered and logged. Log it for some minutes and attach it to the discussion.

Are there other symptoms like a high CPU usage by SEP processes? In this client, is the SEP installation fresh or migrated by another release? Why did you need to replace the sylink.xml? Were there other issues/needs or you just tried to fix this one?

Regards,

Regards,

Giuseppe

Can you post the entire

Can you post the entire Sylink Monitor output? There should be evidence of why the client is not communicating with the Policy Manager inside the output. The fact that you can ping to the Policy Manager is evidence that there is connectivity between the two. You didn't say why you replaced the sylink file. Was it working before? I would also look inside the sylink.xml file to determine if the ip address for the Policy Manager is correct.

Check for the registry

Check for the registry entries.

1. HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Internet settings Click on the internet setting key check for the keys called "ProxyEnable" if it is set to 1 then change it to 0 also check if there is a registry value called "GlobalUserOffline" if it is present change the value of the DWORD to 0
2. Now expand Internet settings key and take a backup of the "Connections" key, Delete the entire key

3. Check HKU\.Default\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Internet settings Click on the internet setting key check for the keys called "ProxyEnable" if it is set to 1 then change it to 0 also check if there is a registry value called "GlobalUserOffline" if it is present change the value of the DWORD to 0

4. expand "Internet settings" key in the above said location and take a backup of the "Connections" key, Delete the entire key

5. Reboot the machine.

News

Thank you to all for your answer.

The client is a windows 2003 server enterprise edition SP2. There is no high cpu, everything is normal. It is a fresh install and it was working a week ago (the green dot was here).
I had replace sylink.xml hoping that will solve the issue. For this I have past the client to unmanaged, delete the entry on the server and finally import the sylink.xml from the server. In the sylik.xml the hostname and IP are correct.

There is no other issue on this client.
This client need proxy enbled in IE in order to manually use LiveUpdate.

Kedarnath --> I have check register key, there isn't "GlobalUserOffline" key and "ProxyEnable" depend on proxy setting on IE. I cannot reboot now because it is a critical server so I have to wait tonight. I will delete "Connections" just before reboot.

Sylinkmonitor logs are always the same, even if I wait for hours :

The log you have attached

The log you have attached does not look like a sylink log, it does not have any of the "Check Point" entry of a heartbeat.
Please, open the sylinkmonitor, don't wait for hours, as I suggested you can trigger the communication with "update policies", the heartbeat will run with its expected Check Points. Post it.

some questions

Are there other symptoms like a high CPU usage by SEP processes? In this client, is the SEP 11.0.4202 installation fresh or migrated by another release? Why did you need to replace the sylink.xml? Were there other issues/needs or you just tried to fix this one? What is the IP address of this PC?

Regards,

Giuseppe

Do you have these

Do you have these symptoms?

After Migrating to MR4 MP2 smc.exe raises to 100% (or 50% on dual core) and keeps it all the time.
SEP is not able to connect to the SEPM.
CleanWipe and reinstall the SEP client (same version) does not help.
Going back to previous version resolves the issue.
May occur only when connected over VPN.

BR,

Giuseppe

Question answer

SMC.exe use continually 25 % of the cpu and 22 Mb of memory. It is a quadcore. So your idea is good.
Is it a patch to solve this ? I am with a MR4 version. Which older version is good ?

Your sylink log says you are

Your sylink log says you are on SEP 11.0.4202 (MR4 MP2) (07/31 11:21:07 [4564] ~~~Sylink log started. (SEP Product Version in registry: 11.0.4202.75, Sylink File Version: 11.0.4202.51)).
Your issue seems related only to this release.
Try to downgrade to 11.0.4000 (MR4).

Here are some other short term workarounds:
install an unmanaged client
change the default gateway on the affected client to an address that exists on the client's subnet.
if using a VPN connection, enable the VPN to use a VPN supplied default gateway instead of using the local physical adapter's gateway.

Symantec is still investigating to fix this issue.

Downgrade

Giuseppe -->I will try to downgrade to MR4.
Thank you for the workarounds but for now I can't do it because it is a critical server.

Peterpan --> The only firewall is the network threat protection of SEP.

You may try this

You mentioned that your client is reported in the manager
Delete that client from the group
go to clients tab
click on policies tab on the right had side
click on general settings
click on security settings
uncheck the require secure communication option for your server group

go to E:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\outbox\agent

take a sylink file

and replace this file to your client after deleting sylink.bak from the same folder

do smc -start this should have a green dot stable..
