We uninstalled the sep manager from fourt server.However  we couldn’t open the other sep manager servers and they show that error:”Failed connect to server”.What can we do to solve this problem?

Thanx.

Hello,

Make sure you are running the same Setup.exe file, which you have run on the other 3 servers. This would make sure you are running the same version setup file.

It is important to have the same version of database schema used during installation.

Here are few steps you could try - 

1. Run the upgrade wizard located: 'C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\bin\upgrade.bat'
2. Run the Management Server Configuration Wizard again to complete the migration process.

hello mithun 

It still gives me that  error as I attahced.

gave this error

You have 3 SEPM all are on 12.1.3 ( already Installed)

You want to install 4th SEPM and all three SEPM getting above msg? can you please clarify what you are trying to achieve.

'We have three symantec manager 12.1.1,we want to install fourth one ,however after installation the other three sep manager show this error as below and we can’t open sep manager consoles.Could you help us about that? "

We have three sep manager 12.1.1 servers.

We wanted to install 4th server as 12.1.2.But ,we aren’t sure maybe we installed fault installation.when 4th server’s installation finished the other servers gave me that error and we couldn’t open  the sep manager consoles of the other three sep manager.When I wanted to open consoles it couldn’t connect to database.When ı Wanted to update it gave me  update failure error.

All the three SEPMs are using the Same DB right?

if you run the management server configuration wizard or other three servers you should be able to start the sepm service and log in

or else post the smc-server0.log

We looked at the database and we saw that all datas have been erased. :(

How can we make a connection from clients to sep manager as son as possible?

How to deploy/update communication settings from your SEPM to your SEP clients machines with SEP 12.1 RU2

I'd recommend restoring the DB from a backup taken before the 4th SEPM was installed for teh quickest recovery.

It sounds like the install package used to setup the 4th SEPM was actually running a later version of the software than the other 3.  This caused it to upgrade the DB when installing, and is now preventing the original 3 SEPMs (on a older version of the software) from connecting to the upgraded DB.

Your options are:

• Restore DB to state usable by the 3 older SEPMs and uninstall SEPM4 (my recommendation given you are now seeing some data missing)
• or, Upgrade all 3 older SEPMs to same version as SEPM4
