I recently received a case where a customer wanted to test the Symantec Scan Engine functionality where it can forward a threat to a Central Quarantine server.
After a lot of testing, we were able to determien that EICAR would not be forwarded, it only get deleted. I talked with the Symantec Security Response team and they provided me with a fake macro test file that Scan Engine detected and forwarded successfully!
I am still waiting for confirmation on if this is a file that can be shared with customer as a test file. I will post it if I can!

Basically we can't run all our Full backups on one night. The end result is that we have about 5 policies, each one has it's full backup on a different day. Incrementals are nightly unless a full takes priority.
To this I have about 5 backup sets, each set has 2-3 servers in it.
This works great, except for a few things.
Exports only need to occur on a weekly basis since we aren't required to export the incrementals, BE 12 has no way to accomodate this... I am trying to use bemcmd.exe and a SQL query to export tapes on the last job of the week, but still fighting some scripting issues which is a whole other topic!!
Other issue is the logs, I end up with SO many policies and logs.
I was thinking of breaking down my selection lists further, so instead of "set 1" which includes 2-3 servers, each server would have it's own selection list....
This would make the logging insane, so many logs... but it would be easy to look at metrics and find thigns in...

I'm looking for feedback from anyone who may have a project plan to share for a CMS 7 install. I've got a rough version, but looking for feedback from others. We currently only use Helpdesk 6 and DS 6.8 SP1. After every task is done, Software and Inventory solution are installed. We've got the servers built, Altiris Agent installed on every client system, we've got software policies, we've got software installs to go with the policies, systems are remediating, software portal is set up for users, we're doing patch management, we've got the SAN space, we've set up the network properly for software to be distributed, pcAnywhere in use. Assume all endpoints have the AClient already.
So, short version, a spreadsheet with time assigned to each task or each solution, broken down by resource, with a time estimate for each. Does not include Deployment Solution 6.9 SP3 or ServiceDesk 7, I'll post about that in the respective forums.

Hi,
I am trying to do the IDR restore for a Windows XP machine with a new hard drive. I am using BE12.5, and I created the boot cd sucessfully. I pop the disk in, went through the manual restor, restore from a remote media, enter the server name and got to the part where they ask you to submit the job from the media server. I started the job just fine, but it would run until 95%, then the error: Access denied would pop up at the client end, and I have to cancel
the job. I went back to the media server and look at the logbook, the error is:
"Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe0008488 - Access is denied. Final error category: Security Errors "
I have tried with local admin as well as domain admin account, they all failed. I also made sure the username didn't include the work admin in it because I read some thread and it says it could be a potential problem....

I am new to Workflow 7 and I would like to know how to use the DataGrid compponent in the Web Form editor. I am trying to set up a grid that will have 4 columns where data can be entered. I am unclear on how to set this up. I have taken a look at the help for the component and I am not sure how to select the data type. All the values in the rows for each column will be text values.

Is there a way to select which SEPMs can be used to download updates?
We have a total of 6 SEPM's but I only want two SEPMs to download updates from the Internet. Then the other SEPMs can receive updates from the content downloaded from the SEPM, which grab updates from the Internet.
The other SEPMs have slow Internet connections.
We are running SEP 11 MR4 MP2.
Thanks.

Hi symantec community,
I've been delving over PDFs and Manuals over all symantec and still cant get a straight response, even i tried to get email support (and telephone) and it redirects me to symantec connect.
The problem is that i need an official response from Symantec that Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 does not support security roles, and it depends entirely on windows permissions.
I know ofr fact that it is as im descrbing it, but still i need an official response for a report over an installation of Backup Exec.
anything that you recommend or require i'll be glad to help!
Thanks for your time!

Hi Team.
Can someone tell me why the following would happen.
We have a HP server with Hyper-V (Windows 2008 Ent Edition R2) connected to this server is a HP Storageworks 1/8 autoloader and Symantec backup exec 12.5.
For some strange reason I get "unknown error" where running backups within Symantec.
The above error only seems to happen with large backup / smaller backup like 2GB work 100%
Another thing i have noticed is that if i shut down both the server and the autoloader and boot both of them up at the same time my Virtual servers don’t start up.
If i only boot the server, then the virtual servers boot up 100%.
Are there any known issue with regards to Hyper-V and Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 or the HP P800 Controller (3B1513-B1) or the HP Single CH U320 SCSI Adapter?
Your assistance and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way that I can select a specific list that resides within a team site and just back that up or just restore it? I can not seem to figure out how to do it. Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I currently have Exchange 2003 in my organisation and I use Symantec Mail Security 4.6 for Exchange. I'm soon upgrading my Symantec ( both Mail Security and Anti-Virus ).
I've got Multi-tier Protection 11.0, which comes with Endpoint Protection ( which I'll be using for Anti-Virus ) and Mail Security 6.0 for Exchange, so that's what I'm planning to upgrade to.
I have searched and have found out that Mail Security 6.0 for Exchange does not give you the capability to add Email Disclaimers. I've also found the Mail Security for SMTP does have this capability, but I don't have that installed and I also got an email recently saying that Mail Security for SMTP was being end of lifed and being replaced by Brightmail Gateway.
So, my question is, what Symantec Software should I use that will give me Email Disclaimers? Does Brightmail Gateway do it? If I use Brightmail Gateway, does that mean I don't need to use Mail Security...

Hello,
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager needs to have more Functionality and Features in regards to Group Update Provider.
Today, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager RU5 have added good Functionality.
Check the Following KB's
1) New features and functionality in Symantec Endpoint Protection Release Update 5 (SEP RU 5) Group Update Provider (GUP)
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/854fa02b4f5013678825731a007d06af/74cab076e9ab68f64925763f005a2237?OpenDocument
2) Configuring the Group Update Provider (GUP) in Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 RU5
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/854fa02b4f5013678825731a007d06af/cb487ea7138bf8d24925763f00708be0?OpenDocument
But even today, we are don't have much to check on How to handle the GUP's from SEPM other than visiting the Groups Liveupdate Policy.
Suggestions:
1) Customers do not have a way to create a Log for GUP seperately.
We are looking forward for a Seperate...

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a command or way to find out backups jobs running on a specific tape drive.
We are using multiplexing and tapes are used for with more than one client and job at a time.
So, if I want to launch a restore and there are no available drives, how can I know all backups jobs using that drive?
Thanks,

Hi
I have got my server backing up to a local nas unit. The backups are working fine but when the drive gets full the backup job stalls due to lack of space. How do i set backup exec to remove old backups so that it will never fail on lack of space.
thanks

Hi, this seems like a simple enough request but I'm having trouble figuring this out.
Netbackup comes with a great graphical topology of your backup structure but I cannot view my entire layour, i.e. backup/media server + all clients.
I can only see my backup servers and then whatever clients are active or failed.
Any help?
Thanks

Dear Experts,
we've sold a small part of our business to another company, a number of staff are going to the new company and want their mail files migrated over.
I can export EV archives as PSTs and their live mail files, also as PST's, but I want to avoid them finding irrelevant short cuts / stubs in the files when they are imported to their new companies' exchange environment.
I've thought about exporting their ev archives back to exchange and thus reducing their pst files to just one each. Does anyone have a better idea and if possible a clean process to remove the shortcuts ?
thanks in advance for your advice.
EV Novice.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We bought 15 HP T5540 Terminals last month. These terminals all run Windows CE 6.0.
The problem is that when we put the terminal on, it register’s itself on the Altiris Deployment Server, (which we reinstalled with DP6.9 SP3). The Deployment server then upgrades the Altiris Agent to version 6.9.430, and after that I cannot manage it anymore.
The strange thing is that when I remove the Agent installer from the Deployment server and reimage the Thin Client so it gets it’s default CE installation (Latest image from HP.com website) and default agent (6.9.274 I believe) it runs fine and I’m able to send it reboot requests etc.
(the Deployment server however keeps creating an Agent update task which cannot run because I moved the source files).
After I move back the source files the Agent get’s updated and I cannot manage it anymore.
Then I tried a terminal with CE 5.0, this is a T5530 because the T5540 doesn’t...
