    Kindly Verify....

    Your managed client still showing as unmanaged ?

    Are you using image OS ?

    hi

    You need to manually do it , coz the location of sylink is different in SEP 12.1

    or You can use the tool which can be run on individually, 

     

    To replace Sylink, follow the Steps

    1. Click on Start
    2. Click Run
    3. Type smc -stop in the run field
    4. Copy the sylink.xml file from a managed client or from SEPM and paste under "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.xx.xx\Data\Config" it will prompt do you want to replace the file click on Yes.
    5. Start the smc service
    6. Click Start
    7. Click Run 
    8. In the run field type the following command smc -start                                                 

    To replace Sylink.xml file on computer you will have to use Sylinkdrop utility. You will find this utility by default at two locations

    1. Every SEP client will have Sylinkdrop utility under bin folder e.g C:\Program files\Symantec \Symantec Endpoint Protection \12.1.xx.xx\Bin

    2. You wil find it under tools folder with original setup files . (CD's or downloaded files)

    Sylink Replacer for SEP 12.1

    There is different sylink replacer tool for SEP 12.1 , you can get it from the Symantec support team by calling them up or opening a case.

    Hi,

    I also think it's due to duplicate entries in the database.

    Try running following tool:

    Hi,

    It's not a bug, you should reverify configuration.

    Check following article for more details:
