Hi, this problem doesnt seem to match any other threads I've seen in this forum, although some are similar.
Installed SEP, using embedded database and the "default web site" - install completes fine. World Wide Web Publishing service, Symantec embedded database service, Symantec Endpoint Portection Manager server all run OK. IIS allows anonymous access, etc - no obvious problems anywhere.
Additionally Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange runs fine - and can be administered without any problems.
My problem is that when I try to login to the manager I'm asked for username and password - I use the username admin and the password I selected (note that if I enter the incorrect password - it refuses my entry). It then appears to start the manager and the "loading bar" goes across the screen, but then it throws me back to the username/passwordf screen without giving any error.
No errors are reported int he IIS log or in the event viewer.
I've uninstalled and re-installed, I've restarted the server several times - still the same problems.
The server is a Windows 2003 Small Business Server, 3GB RAM and an "OK" processor.
PLEASE help me!!!
