replication between two sites is incremental or copies the whole database everytime replication happens.

Hi. I am running Symantec Information Foundation Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange on a virtual MS Windows 2003 Server. It works fine except when I manually run a scan on the mailboxes. We have up to 90 mailboxes up to 5 gb of size. Each time I try to scan the mailboxes looking for violations in our policy it stops after a while. Message "An Error Occured", Then the application stops responding and I need to quit using task manager. Any idea what the reason for this might be ?

DS 6.9 SP2 (slowly moving to NS 7) (One server running the DS software + PXE, as well as PXE running on the DHCP server as I wasn't able to get it to successfully run without the PXE services on the MS DHCP box. Sometimes, I have noticed that when I schedule a job to a PC, and it reboots, the PC will fail to even see the PXE server. I believe it gives the error PXE-E55: media test failure.  It's weird because the PC is connected, and if I simply CTRL-ALT-DEL the PC when i see this, it will come up fine the next time around 100% of the time. Could this be an issue with the PC? the Network? Switch?   Any ideas / suggestions about this? Thanks!

Regarding Endpoint Threat Protection rules: In dealing with applications that are not detected, for which Endpoint does not prompt for permissions, I attempted making individual firewall rules to allow them network access. In each case they did not work. However,  if an individual firewall rule is made for applications that Endpoint would otherwise detect, the added custom rules do work. Question is, what needs to be done to either force Endpoint to detect all applications, or otherwise force it to respect all rules, including those added for applications not detected. Thank you, Jeremy

This happens when we try and copy policy from a GROUP with more than 1000 clients.... If we click copy Group Policy from a Group with only a handful of clients the console does not crash....

Proactive threat Protection Needs more improvments as it is doing  almost nothing. It should detect on  behaviour of a file.Currently symantec is only depending upon signatures. Now irus writers are easily corrupting SEP and it can't even save itself. SEP is failing to save itself also. A small program enters and easily destroys sep in a system. symantec should include some technology to protect all its files which are created during installation.

We have a few users who have recieved the following message opon booting their machines: "Fatal error has occured.  Machine will need to be restarted.  Brief description: The application returned a status of [0x80000001] in the state State_Initialized.  Detailed Information is blank. At this point we have to run the access and recovery disks to gain access to the computer. We are running SEE 7.0.3 on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server SP2, and Windows XP SP2 for our clients. Any help is greatly appreciated. Channing

Just as LiveUpdate is trying to initialize connecting to liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com it just freezes with 2 seconds left to complete.  I've tried uninstall/reinstall, cancelling and reperforming the operation (which just freezes the program altogether) but neither has helped. Does anyone know what this is and how it can be fixed? For some reason the browse wouldn't let me access the file to attach it.  But here is what the file says, hopefully this is what you were asking for: 270A040A0D1B,74,2,16,LAP1,mom,,,,,,,16777216,"TruScan has generated an error: code 11: description: Whitelist Failure",0,,0,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000},,,,WORKGROUP,00:24:2C:B5:55:23,11.0.5002.290,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,999,,,,, And what is an unmanaged client?

After numerous re-formats, uninstalls of v5, I can not get to Raxco's Boot Time deefrag, because the newest version of SEP locks it out and freezes the unit. I use XP Pro SP3 32 bit. Raxco has had a few notes about this and is stumped. This doesn't occur with any other suites - commercial or otherwise. Many thanks for replies

Hi, The last 3 times our backup has run it has taken an extra 6 hours to run, when looking at this error I have found that the verify time is now almost the same as the backup time? Previously it was about 1/3rd the time. Anyone else had this, suggestions? Thanks. Runing all hot fixes on 12.5 with Dell Powervalt TL2000 which also is running the latest firmware.

I am having a problem restoring files with Ghost.I had two computers. A Toshiba Laptop and a TMP Desktop.I have an Iomega external hard drive connected the Desktop. I use this to back up both computers. I run a separate version of Ghost on each computer.On 23/10/09 I run an Image back up on the Laptop and these files are now on the Iomega.I also ran a File & Folder back up and these are there also:The laptop was stolen yesterday.I need to restore either the Image or the Files & Folder from the 23rd.I have used restore point browser to look at the Image files. When I select the ones from the 23rd they give and error message saying the files are not the right size.If I do the same with an Image file created in September it opens and shows the files.We tried to use the File & Folder option but the files did not show up. I guess this is because the version of Ghost I used to create them was on the Laptop?We used the “Import Backup Destination” option to index the...

One of the challenges that you may face as you scale up your Recovery Solution environment is keeping track of how much free space is left on your Recovery clusters.  It was easy enough to generate a simple report to sum up all the SpaceUsed, SpaceFree, and MaxSize columns in the RawVolume table (which tracks the storage space for each storage location you define in your RS Cluster configuration).  I converted that simple report into a iterative query using a cursor that checks free space for each RS cluster, adds that to a temp table, then exports all the results and emails them to a defined list of users via email.  Quite a time-saver when you have ~16 Recovery Clusters to keep an eye on! To use it, just import it into your NS console with Recovery Solution installed, edit the Email Automated Actions, enable the Policy, then click "Test Notification Policy".  Just like that, you'll get a daily snapshot of Recovery space utilization...

Did anyone notice the rather impressive Backup Exec test report on SP2 that came out in May (the Service Pack came out in May and the Report in June) … to be precise. BE 12.5 SP2 went GA on 18th May via FileConnect. The whole point of SP2 was to improve speed and performance of Backup Exec. It also had a few new fixes and enhancements, but was mainly to provide enhanced performance for 12.5 and earlier versions. Backup Performance Is Important All backup jobs have some performance impact on the system that is being backed up. We have been living with such phrases as “The Shrinking Backup Window” for this very reason – and for years. Inevitably, for the period of time that a system is being backed up, the hard drive is busy reading files in order to carry out the backup. You usually have to run this type of process when it is less likely to impact the system, when the IT bandwidth is not needed for other business processes – over night, or at the weekend...

GoodDay, we were running 10d before and changed over to 12.5 this weekend. On 10d we were hitting rates at about 1,200mb per minute or over and now on 12.5 we can only reach 71mb per minute. We are using windows server 2003 SP2, IBM ULTRIUM-TD2 LTO64K, our buffer count is 10. Is there any configurations I need to change? Thanks in advance.

Hi, In the communications setting (SEPM), we have two parameters: hearbeat and download randomizations options.  if I set heartbeat to 60 min, will that mean all clients will download the av signatures  and ulpoad log in the same time each one hour? what does randmizations mean?   regards.

Hello, I have a daily backup job that was working fine. Some additional software has been added to the server recently (Timeclock vendor) and now the backup job has stopped working. I've researched doc 326836 but none of these fixes helped. I've checked with the vendor and he believes that his software would not effect Backup Exec. I'm receiving in the Job Operation Back portion of the log: AOFO: Started for resource: "Shadow?Copy?Components". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). The following volumes are dependent on resource: "C:" "E:" . The snapshot provider used by VSS for volume C: - Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0 (Version 1.0.0.7). The snapshot provider used by VSS for volume E: - Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0 (Version 1.0.0.7). Directory was not found, or could not be accessed.
