  • 1.  Symantec Endpoint 11.x System Tray Icon Weird Behaviour

    Posted Mar 01, 2013 07:20 AM

    Hello!

    I recently upgraded my clients from 11.0.6300.803 to 11.0.7300.1294. My upgrade went without problems. But i got strage problem with SEP cliet tray icon.
    The thing is, that i use custome windows 7 x64 shell. On it client never showed until i launched program, for example windows explorer.
    On old client version whenever i launched it icon showed up. On new version this only occures if i launch some process right after reboot.
    If i dont do anything for like 5 minutes client icon just stop showing no matter what i do.
    The question is what has changed in builds, if i downgrade client package to old one i have no problems.
    And also, from what i can tell if there is no tray icon my antivirus works. Just if i launch SymCorpUi from its folder it sometimes dont show Network Protection..

    What i can do to fix the issue?

    Thank you in advance.

    I know how to make a screenshot, just dont understand what to send. Troubleshooting section of client? Or something from Server? Not sure.

    From an affected client.

    Judging by your problem, this may require a call to support so they can remote in and look at exactly what is going on.

    if you do a normal mstsc /console, is the client visible?

    You mean connect to affected computer via RDP?

    If client in affected state, when there is no icon Troubleshooting accesible via SymCorpUI shows Server  - Offline. But on manager console it shows online, responds to console commands like workstation restart etc.

    If i launch Troubleshooting right after restart it shows connection to management server, without errors.

    If i downgrade to 11.0.6300.803, everything comes back to normal. Maybe i just shouldnt upgrade? Is there a point to do that in first case?

    Yes, try the normal mstc/ console session , check if the icon is visible...

    I suspect your shell ..lets verify it first.

    Yes! on mstsc /console session icon is visible O.O

    And after i disconnect session, it became visible on actual PC too.

     

    So...? O.O

    The icon is dependent on explorer.exe , your shell hook might have been making some issues with that.

    As long as it working fine. All is well :)

    Yes, it seems all functions work good, and on MSTC icon is there...

    so i can just ignore icon?
