Makre sure both SEPM are of the Same version.

Yes, they are both the same versions. The initial install says it completes fine. I have an open ticket with Symantec on this issue. I have also had a Webx session with them and they are still unable to determine why it will not install all of the services. The only service that is present is the Embeded Database service.

 Run upgrade.bat on the main server once.

This is the latest error message I had received. I installed the softwa locally onto a newl server I built Win2003 Sp2. just to make sure it wasn't the software install. It install fine as a new site. I then uninstalled and tried again as an additional site with database replication option.
Synchronization to the remote site failed. JZ06:Caught IOException:
com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc. SybConnectionDeadException:JZ0c0: Connection is already closed.

 1. Is port 8443 open between these 2 servers are you able to do telnet on port 8443 between them.

2. When is it failing is it failing after 4 hours ..or immideately.

Go to start - run -odbcad32 ->SystemDSN- Select SEPMDSN and click Configure->Network->Increase Liveliness Timeout to 5 minutes ( 300 secs)
Idle TIme to 300 min.Buffer size 5120 bytes (5mb)

Try again see if it replicates...

It is failing after a long period of trying to create and replicate the database. I do appreciate your help.

Hi, danonjay,

You have received the message "NOT LISTENING" probably this port on this way is closed or filtered, you must check that this ports are open before continue in both way.

The explanation of the message "NOT LISTENING" you can find in this article from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B31....

Aditionally this is article of the ports that symantec endpoint protection use: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.....

Your post did help me to fix my problem.

Regards,
