SescLU.exe and Rtvscan.exe crashing

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6 running on a virtual machine on Windows Server 2008 R2 HyperV. I had SEP 11.0.5002.333 64-bit running on the server fine previously.

Yesterday the HyperV server crashed and rebooted so the virtual machine did not shut down properly. Now the SescLU.exe and Rtvscan.exe processes are crashing immediately upon starting. I tried uninstalling and re-installing. I downloaded the newest version of SEP (11.0.6100.645) and upgraded to that. I am still having the same issue. Here's the entries in the error logs:

Faulting application name: SescLU.exe, version: 11.0.6100.480, time stamp: 0x4c5b6596
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16559, time stamp: 0x4ba9b29c
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0002e9c0
Faulting process id: 0x1320
Faulting application start time: 0x01cb4a0e92415471
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SescLU.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
Report Id: cffa38a5-b601-11df-9851-00155d010102

Faulting application name: Rtvscan.exe, version: 11.0.6100.463, time stamp: 0x4c2d25af
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16559, time stamp: 0x4ba9b29c
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0002e733
Faulting process id: 0x14a8
Faulting application start time: 0x01cb4a0db1424d02
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Rtvscan.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
Report Id: eefcf732-b600-11df-9851-00155d010102

I ran system file checker on the specified ntdll.dll and it didn't find any problems. I also ran a chkdsk on the drives and it found a couple small errors and repaired them. I did the reinstalls after the chkdsk ran. Any help in getting SEP to run would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if I was clear

I'm not sure if I was clear in my description. The SEP client is installed on the Citrix virtual machine which runs on the HyperV server. The HyperV server is the machine that crashed. There was no indication in the Event Log as to why it crashed. I did notice that I didn't have a reliability update installed from Microsoft. I'm assuming that whatever the reason for the crash was fixed in that update. The HyperV server is fully updated now and has been running fine since then.

Could you please uninsatll SEP client, delete the  Liveupdate  folder, from C:/program data/Symantec, and then re-install it as unmanaged sep  client?

I'm not running a Citrix

I'm not running a Citrix Provisioning server so that first link doesn't apply to me. I have already seen the best practices for running SEP on a Citrix Terminal Server and put the recommendations into place.

I uninstalled the SEP client and re-installed it as an unmanaged client. I'm still having the same problem.

Un-install SEP..Delete all the files and folder then re-install SEP

Better to follow Manual Removal Procedure
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security....

Then Install SEP.

I followed the manual removal instructions and still have the same problem. I'm running 2008 R2 which is 64-bit though and those instructions were for 32-bit versions. I looked for files and folders in corresponding folders (Program Files (x86), etc.) on the 64-bit machine too though.

Any of you with Citrix XenApp6

Have hotfix XA600W2K8R2X64003 installed?

I had the exact same error as described in the opening post, but when i uninstalled that hotfix, the error disappeared.

I have now tried installing the hotfix before SEP. And this seems to work. But this might break the citrix hotfix?
