Endpoint Protection

when I type smc I get  'smc' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I need to dump the config to a text file for a security audit.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm running 11.04

thanks

Hi,

Thank you for posting your issu on Symantec Forums. However, please do not create multiple threads for the same issue.

smc.exe is responsible process for server client communication. If you want to to know the configuration use the command smc [-p password] -exportconfig <filename> for more info refer
Available Command-Line Options for Smc.exe

If it is Password protected you should also use the password and the use the syntax as mention by aravind 1984

To run the smc command, you need to change the directory to the SEP installation directory which is typically

C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection

If this answers your question, please mark it as a solution.

I am agreeing with pkh you may have to change the directory first then you can use the command mentioned by me in the earlier post(smc [-p password] -exportconfig <filename>) or you have to add that path as follows

1. Right Click 'My Computer' & Select Properties

2. In the Advanced Tab select 'Environment Variables'

3. In the 'System Variables' text box scroll down and Highlight 'Path'

4. Choose to Edit

5. Look for Variable Value

6. Without changing the existing contents; at the end of the sting, add the exact path for the 'symcorpui.exe' file. (e.g.: By Default the installation path of the file is "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection")

7. Once done; Click Ok on all the open properties pages..

if you do like this you can use that command from anywhere(You can go to command prompt and execute it regardless of the path where you are)
