Hi

I decided to upgrade to version 12!!!

after upgrading SEPM and NAC to version 12 and assigning packages to the groups, I checked some clients,All SEP features like Antivirus,Sonar and NTP was running but Network Access Control (NAC) feature was not available and running on them.

A nice resource to create strong passwords is Wolfram Alpha search engine. This site will generate a random password for you with a full description about the time it would take to crack the password and other interesting security information.

Wolfram Alpha (styled Wolfram|Alpha) is an answer engine developed by Wolfram Research. It is an online service that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer as a search engine would [Wikipedia]

How to generate random passwords :

  • Open Wolfram Alpha search engine.
  • Enter the phrase “password of xx characters”   ( xx is the length of the password that you want to generate )
  • In case you need, customize security settings on "Specific password rules" link.
  • If you need more passwords then click on "New...

Issue:

Installing NTP on the cluster blocks the communication between Windows Server 2008 Failover cluster nodes
Following the article TECH91154 doesn't resolve the issue.

Cause:

By default, the "Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter" (NetFT.sys) uses IPv6 to communicate with other nodes in the cluster. If you have an IPv4 configuration, then IPv6 is tunneled over IPv4 to establish sessions with remote nodes. If IPv6 is completely unavailable in your environment, the nodes will then communicate by IPv4. It is possible to disable IPv6 and still have the cluster function correctly but it is recommended to enable IPv6 with Windows 2008, 2008 R2 Failover clustering.

Reference: For more information about IPv6 on cluster please refer to the below article from "Windows Failover Cluster Team":

ปัญหานี้จะเกิดเมื่อ ลงตัว sep12.1 แล้วต้องการจะ activate license ครับ

 

วิธีแก้ไข ให้่เชคดังนี้ครับ เข้าไปที่ control panel > regional and laguage > เปลีย่นทุกอันที่เป็นภาษาไทย ให้เป็น english ครับ (ได้หมดไม่ว่าจะเป็น USA,England)

 

> แล้ว restart 1รอบ ครับ > ลอง activate อีกรอบครับ 

 

ถ้าต้องการที่จะใช้เป้นภาษาไทยให้เปลีย่นหลังจากที่ activate เสร็จแล้วครับ

ปัญหาที่มักจะพบใน sepm คือ "ทำไม Client บางเครื่องอัพเดท แล้วทำไมบางเครื่องไม่อัพเดท"

ให้ทำดังนี้ครับ check ที่เครื่อง manager ก่อน ว่า definition ที่เครื่อง manager มีเป็นเวอร์ชั่นล่าสุดรึเปล่า  ถ้าไม่ ก็ไปที่ แถบ admin เลือก server > local server > live update

แล้วลองกด อัพเดท content ดูครับ

 

ถ้ากด live update ที่ตัว manager แล้วมี show ว่า error return code 4  ให้ check ก่อนว่าเครื่องเซิฟเวอร์ต่อกับ internet ได้ไหม ปกติเวลาขึ้น return code =4 คือไม่สามารถเชื่อมต่อ กับ internet ได้

 

ถ้าทำการอัพเดทเครื่อง manager เป็น definition ล่าสุดแล้ว กด update content ได้เลยครับ เพื่อกระจาย def ใหม่ ให้เครื่องที่ยังไม่ได้อัพเดท

 

ส่วนเครื่องที่อัพ เดทก่อน manager ถามว่าทำไมมันถึงอัพเดท ลองเข้าไปเชค policy ของ life update ก่อนครับว่า ติีก อนุญาติ ให้เครื่อง client อัพเดทผ่านเน็ตได้หรือป่าวครับเพราะว่าถ้า ติ๊กเอาไว้แล้วเซิฟเวอร์ไม่อัพเดท เครื่อง client จะไปเอา definition ที่เซิฟเวอร์ของ symantec...

Hi,

Shared Insight Cache (SIC) is a server application which caches known clean files in order to optimize scan performances.SIC server is mainly designed for virtual environment but usage on physical system is supported given that network latency is kept at an absolute low.SIC server keeps a record in memory (ram) of files which are voted clean by system performing scans 

First SEP client needs to scan a file.  Queries SIC and finds no record.  SEP scans the file and sends the results to the SIC.

Subsequent SEP clients need to scan the same file.  They query the cache server and find the file has already been scanned with the same version of defs and the file is clean.  SEP client skips scanning the file.

When a second client run the scan it goes though the same process and since the file is cached on the SIC therefore will skip the scan. 

Shared...

Just my ramblings. It's not even structured well. But it is something I'd like to share...

When selecting products, end users usually use search engines with the keywords 'best', 'top', and other synonyms.

I was just searching the web for top 10 lists of AVs. And I found the following sites:
