Any help?

In the event viwer are you getting a Java-1 or java 1 error

Also, please paste the scm server0.log

It is java 1, I am will post the scm .server0.log in a min

Go to  \Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\conf\server.xml
 

Right-click the server.xml file and click Edit to modify the file:

Look for port 8005, change the port to another unused port:
port="8006"

Save the changes to the "server.xml" file.

Start the SEPM service.

Attempt to login to the SEPM.

Pranchand , it is still the same

Please restart the IIS service and then SEPM service.

If possible  Reboot the server, I think it will take care of the issue.

Restarted the services , still the same, i am in the process of rebooting, It is also the exchange server, it will take 20 mins for this.

Can you paste/attach the scm-server-0.log which is present in Program Files \Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\logs?

post the scm-server-0.log from the SEPM after you get the error message. This log will be found at C:\Program Files \Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\logs.

hi tech-no,

had the same issue before, appeared to be an IIS problem.

just to check, have you verified that SEPM service is running? if it's not, try to start it and observe if will remain started just for at least 15secs. In my case, it stops after just a couple of seconds after starting it. This was what caused the failure connecting to server..

Changing The tomcat port ideally resolved the Java 1 error, i am not sure why it did not work in this case. The reboot should do the trick , else please get the scm serevr0.log
