  • 1.  Script to check if SMC is started or restart if stopped.

    Can anyone supply me with a batch file to run to check the SMC service is running - if not restart it.

    Running SEP12RU4 - issue with GUP's currently as SMC service stops.

    There in no script for restart SMC service,You can do this with SNAC hi policy. The SMC.exe processes crashes on Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU4 when Group Update Provider functionality is enabled http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH213461 See this thread https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/smc-keeps-stopping-0

    You have to run this to create a task for each server in a batch file like this, just change the path to SMC depending on SEP11 and 12

     

     

     

    SCHTASKS /Create /S Server01 /SC minute /MO 10 /RU SYSTEM /TN SMCStart /F /TR "'d:\program files\symantec\smc.exe' -start"

     

    SCHTASKS /Create /S Server02 /SC minute /MO 10 /RU SYSTEM /TN SMCStart /F /TR "'d:\program files\symantec\smc.exe' -start"

     

    SCHTASKS /Create /S Server03 /SC minute /MO 10 /RU SYSTEM /TN SMCStart /F /TR "'d:\program files\symantec\smc.exe' -start"
