    Hi,

    Is there any option on SEPM to Isolate infected machines from accessing internet and local network until it is cleaned.

    Thanks

    No but you can get creative with the firewall, see my article on how I handle these issues:

    Hi TheSniper_,

    Symantec Network Access Control (SNAC) is a slightly different product which works with SEP.  It can put non-compliant computers onto an isolated quarantine network.  That's about the closest thing to what you are inquiring about.

    Personally, I just pull the network cable to ensure that the suspicious computer will not be infecting any others.

    What actions or symptoms are you seeing / what is making you suspect the computer?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Mick
