Endpoint Protection

Hi,

I work in a school and we would like to block the pupils from running or putting on the netwok .exe files off memory sticks.

I am running SEPM 11.05, but a bit of a novice when it comes to the above.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Excellent thank you, I will take a look and let you know how it goes.

Many thanks

welcome :-)

Hello,

Again thank you for this, think I am close.

Just on some machines after rolling this out it seems to block all the .exe that would usally start on boot up. Turn off the policy and machines works normally again. For example, windowssearch.exe, and all of .exes off the C:\ drive. Not sure if it is the way the hardware is setup in these partuclary machines?

I followed the instructions on the link you sent: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009020313373948

Works well on other amchines just the Dell Optiplexy 740 I seem to be having issues with,

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

check the policy set is been applied on this client

Note: This will work on a 32bit server but will not work on a 64bit server. All features must be installed. AntiVirus and Antispyware, Proactive Treat Protection, Network Threat Protection

Yes it has been, all fully installed on the clinets that I am having issues with?
