Weird SEP Log Files on the C drive.
Hello-
We are running SEP 11.0.4202.75. About 30% of our clients have weird file names like:
t1b0
t1b0.1
t1b0.2
etc... etc...
The files contain information like this:
00000073 01ca1f3143fadac0 12070218 00000000 00000000 00000000 Symantec Management Client has been activated. Smc

The problem is that thiese files tend to grow to over 5GB a piece and fill up the users C drive. They are not in any folder other than the root of C.
Any idea why these are being generated? It seems to be random and occur once or twice a month.
Thank You,
Eric

Hello-
I thought this was over but the debug log settings did nothing to stop this. The log files are showing up randomly on the root of C:\ not in their designated folders. Has anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks for the information!

hi
can you check what is the value under curlocation string
on the right hand side of this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC
it should be default..check if thats pointing to your c root.
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : )

With the amount of calls
With the amount of calls coming in I would say this is more wide spread than a few. Could there be a setting in the management server that is doing this?
Thanks,
Eric

I've looked into this before
I've looked into this before and just double checked. I don't have any of those enabled. I am going to call support. I will post my findings when we have an answer.
