When we move the mouse pointer or cursor on the Symantec Endpoint Protection icon in the system tray we get the following information.     However it would be great if we can see the below information when we move the mouse pointer or cursor on the Symantec Endpoint Protection icon in the system tray. If this is possible, we need not open the SEP console for viewing the below information.

Here's an idea... Every time I'm in the SEPM and I refresh what I'm looking at (connection status of a client PC on the 2nd page of my three page client list, for ex), I have to navigate back to page 2 of 3. In Monitors, I'm watching the command status. In refreshing, I'm thrown back to the Monitor summary page, and I have to select the command status tab to get back. A little thing yes, but over time, that adds up to a lot of unneccessary repitition. Just a ...

Hello, It would be great if SEPM console has a new command to be runned on remote clients that require a SNAC re-authentication. In some cases, network switches will take time to re-authenticate machines. Customers who face issues with 802.1x might still allow machines to access the network even if they failed compliance check.

I know that within the tool there are canned policies for use.  I think it would be great if there were a centralized location where we could share policy templates that we have developed.

We had an undetected virus mini outbreak today. This was resolved and I wanted to submit the file to Symantec. On our old AV product it was easy as the client had a submit suspect virus button. Symantec SEP 12.1 RU1  makes it a complex process. Please make it easy to quickly submit suspect files by giving the client a simple button and easy questions that don't need digging out customer numbers etc. I don't want to set the automatic send feature and as it wasn't ...

Hi,   I am using the SEPM server from last 1 year and get the great success in using ADC policy. ADC policy will help me in all the matter but symantec not have any utility to block the USB in Safe Mode. So that most of the comapny use the Active directy Service to block the Acess because it helpfull in Safe Mode also. If symantec can implement these type of changes in ADC policy and no one can acess the usb even login in Safe Mode, then it will come the Gr8 sucess to ...

Hi, it will be fine for including encryption of pen drives in device or application control..since now symantec is doing only the blocking..for encryption we are searching for some other products? if symantec endpoint manager itself do the same thing it will be good..

We have synchronized our AD structure in SEPM.  As a result we have lots of OUs in some of our SEP Groups.  When we want to deploy a new version of the SEP client the fastest way to do that is to use the Upgrade client with package wizard.  The problem is that as it goes through the list of OUs under a particular group we have to click yes to every single OU it comes to.  This is both irritating and time consuming.   It would be nice to have a check box or ...

I find that when I encrypt a drive, I have to restart the computer and utilize the BootGuard Advanced section to verify that my drive is 100% encrypted.  I would prefer some kind of drive details utility or option within the OS console of PGP WDE that provides me with these details so that I can ensure that my drive is 100% encrypted.

If few of our environments, mail security block the reports as they come as attachments. If these are sent in plain text in the body of the mail, it will help a lot. Also, it would be helpful if the users can schedule the logs. The reports does not have enough information. If the logs are mailed as .csv or as plain text files, we can use them to integrate with other applications like envision (though external logging feature is there, this is better).
