Endpoint Protection

Hi, we have uppgraded from SEPM 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 on our Server 2003 32 bit. After the upgrade whenever the SEPM services start we get a crash (BSOD). the older version 12.1.1 was working fine.

I have tried reinstalling the SEPM, upgrading chipset and video drivers. Also tried a total uninstall of SEPM, client and liveupdate and installed from scratch. None of that helped, as soon as the services start the server crashes.

Anybody got any ideas on what might be causing this or how i could resolve it.

Thanks.

First off, what components do you have installed? AV, NTP, PTP, and application and device control?

You really may want to consider opening a support case. This is not the first I've seen this happening on the upgrade to RU3

SEPM is the  console and not a AV program. To be honest I have not seen it too.

can you post the scm-server0.log lets see what it did when it started. Anythign in the event viewer?

any other version of tomcat apache you  have?

Hello,

Have you installed SEP client on the same machine as the SEPM?

If yes, what components have been installed? I would suggest you to uninstall the PTP and NTP features and check again.

Secondly, It would be advisable to please create a Case with Symantec Technical Support and upload the full memory dump logs to the case.

Hope that helps!!

Thanks for the replies. The server is on siite, i will be there tomorrow morning so will post the scm-server0.log then.

And let us know what components are installed as well.

After i uninstalled all Symantec products i only installed the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, no client installed on server. It still crashed.

Please call in and create a case with support and provide a full memory dump of when the crash occured with stop code.

Configure the machine for a full memory dump, reproduce the issue, then open a support case. The assigned TSE will provide you FTP upload credentials for the memory dump that can then be reviewed.

Thanks all for responses. Have logged a call with Symantec.

Have you been able to get this fixed?

Nope. I logged a call with Symantec and after trying several things including a complete uninstall and using the CleanWipe util i still had the same problem after re-installing. Eventually they asked for the memory dump files and from that they told me that my problem was hardware related, but couldnt tell me specifically which piece of hardware was causing the problem. Strange because the 12.1.1 was running just fine on that very hardware.

Anyway, ive tried updating BIOS and all drivers, made sure the OS was up to date with updates but still nothing.

Now deciding wether to go for a new server or a different anti-virus.....

full memory dump is required to identify if any issue.
