  • 1.  SEPM reporting Mac clients as version 12.1.0001.8888

    Posted Dec 18, 2012 01:14 PM

    Some of my SEP clients for Mac appears as v12.1.0001.8888 instead of the v12.1.2015.2015.

    All of the Mac clients are Mac OS X 10.8.2.

    Any idea why is it happening?

    Are any showing the new version number?

    Did you upgrade?

    I know there was a issue back in RU6 regarding this that was resolved in RU6 MP1.

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH141287

    Is SymantecRegistry.xml file under install_path/SMC zero-byte in size?

    If your clients are indeed on the latest version I would recommend calling and opening a case with support.

    Hi Iug,

    In which report or screen are those versions displaying incorrectly?  My Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) 12.1 RU2 client displays correctly in the Clients tab of the SEPM. 

    Are all of your Mountain Lion clients affected or just some of them?

    Many thanks in advance!

    I'm having a similar issue.

    In SEPM (Version: 12.1.2015.2015), the Mac 10.6.8 client I just updated to RU2 using the installer I created from SEPM shows the client version as 12.1.0001.8888.

    On the client 10.6.8 MacBook, when I get info on the SEP client app, it shows 12.1.2015 (2015)

    //Edit: I also have the same experience on a 10.8.2 iMac....

    When this happened in the 11.x product, I believe it had to do with corruption to the /Library/Application Support/Symantec/SMC/SymantecRegistry.xml file. Is it zero-byte? (This file should be in the same location in 10.8.) You may want to duplicate and rename the .bak file to .xml if it is NOT zero-byte in size.

    If you log a case, you may want to reference the following doc:

    SEP for Mac client version shows as 12.5.0001.8888 (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH141287)
