    Hi,

    Please provide sylink logs

    Are the client showing green dot ?

    It's managed client ?

    Whst OS version are you using ?

    If incase these machines are Windows 7 machines, I would recommend you to:

    a. Disable the Windows Firewall or create exceptions for the ports on these machines to communicate to the SEPM http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH163787

    b. Disable the UAC (User Account Control) and restart the machine.

    c. If that does not work, please provide us with sylink.log from one of those machine.
