    I have Symantec endpoint protection 11.0 , I start to deploy 4 PC and 3 servers and they were managed computers and the communication between manager and clients was working fine suddenly some clients become unmanaged without changing any configuration in the console.
    Any suggestions?

    not sure why they become unmanged.

    if you have manager installed please follow these steps to make them managed

    ok - similar thing happened to me.....

    download the 'slinkdrop' tool - you're supposed to have to open a support case with symantec for this, but there's plenty of people sharing this on the net...I can also email you a copy if you like.

    then in the SEPM console, find the group that these clients are in...right click the group and select 'export communication settings'

    save the xml file to the sylinkdrop folder....run the sylinkdrop.exe tool on the machine effected and select the exported communication file - it should resume communication again with the SEPM server

    If you have windows firewall enbaled on client or server, try disabling it , u should have a green dot

    check these discussions about troubleshooting client server communications.
