hi fnordgen. Just to let you know I tried the following on a test system and still had problems.
* Workaround: only applies if Internet Explorer 7 is installed on the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager computer.
- Find registry key: HKU\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
- Add a DWORD value: ReceiveTimeout
- Edit this value. Select Decimal. Enter the number 600000.
- Reboot the computer for these changes to take effect
This workaround increases the timeout value of processes running under the SYSTEM account (semsvc.exe for SEPM) that respect IE settings from 30 seconds (IE7 default) to 10 minutes (600,000 milliseconds).
My Production SAV server is therefore still on IE 6 and working fine and am not going to upgrade as of yet to IE7
