Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition

Hi,

I have SEPM 12.1 Small Business Edition,I have lost my user name and password for the same.So please help me resolve this issue...

HI,

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 has a new and safer mechanism to reset passwords. To reset the password, click the "Forgot your password?" link on the Manager logon screen.

User name is ADMIN

But When I clicked on the "I forgot Password" Tab it gives me a window which tells me that "The administrator will receive an email message with a link to activate the Temporary password." But I dont know the administrator email address.So how can I get email address of administrator.Please help??

HI,

Are you accessing SEPM using SEPM authentication or AD authentication?.

If SEPM authentication you can excute resetpass.bat

Windows 2003 :

Located under Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tools\

Windows 2008:

Located under Program Files (x86) \Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tools\

Enter User name and password as admin.

You will get prompt to change password.

Note:

 Try to excute the resetpass.bat through command prompt as adminstrator if it not works in normal excution.

Hi,

I have installed SEPM in Windows Professional 2007 (x86) edition.Even I also run the reserpass.bat but it shows me message given below:

HI,

When you try provide uner name and password any error Popup ?

Could you please upload the scm-server-0.log and catalina.out file from \program files\Symantec\symantec endpoint protection manager\tomcat\logs

Check Database services are running or not ?

Try to this ...

These errors indicates that it can be a problem with the database. Please try these steps:

1. Stop  Symantec Embeded Database and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Services in the services.msc

2. Go to "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\" and rename sem5.log to sem5.log.old

3. Click Start, click on Run and Type “CMD” then click OK

4. In the Command Prompt type: "CD C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\ASA\win32\" and press Enter this will change directories to the folder containing dbsrv11.exe.

5. Force the recreation of sem5.log. Type: dbsrv11 -f "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\sem5.db" and press Enter

6. Click Start, click on Run and Type “services.msc” then click OK and start the Symantec Embedded Database Service

7. Start the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager service.

8. If it stays started then go ahead and log into the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and everything should now be working properly

9. If the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager service fails to start then run Management Server Configuration Wizard in order to log in to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

If these steps will not help I am afraid that you should make the Disaster Recovery procedure without recovering the database.

It doesnot ask me for user name and password.But I also tried to login with admin for both user name and password, but getting same. I have attached the screen shot of error please check it....

If I remove and reinstall SEPM in other drive, will it affect my license and client machine.

or will it create any problem..

no, unless you have all the correct backups i.e. certificate and working DB.

See I never take the backup from "Database backup and Restore". In place of this I have copied Entire Symantec folder from C:\Program Files.Will this copied files work for restoration ??.

HI,

As per Document follow and take backup

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1: Best Practices for Disaster Recovery with the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH160736

was that working fine earlier?

if yes, you can try to restor and re run management configuration wizard.

Do I have to reinstall the Symantec Enpoint in all the client machine if I reinstall the SEPM in other drive.

No,

You can use old Databse SEP client automatic connect .

no if the correct certificates are restored.

check this DR link for SEP 12.
