Endpoint Protection

Server is Windows 2008 X64

I just upgraded MR4 to MR5. I'm able to logon to the SEP Manager but I get the unable to communicate with reproting component.

At administrator\Data Source (ODBC) -> SystemDNS   there is no Symantec Endpoint Security DSN.

How do I fix this? 

 its 64 bit you need to follow this doc

Try a repair of the SEPM.

Let us know the error in the event viewer

The location for ODBC is diffrent on a 64 bit machine


for that you have to

1. Go to %systemroot%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder (Example - Click Start -> Run -> C:\Windows\Syswow64 and click on OK)
2. Locate Odbcad32.exe & double click on the file
3. Click on System DSN Tab
4. You will find the "SymantecEndpointDSN" listed in the window.
5. Now click on the CONFIGURE button and proceed with the configuration of the DSN for the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

Thanks guys. I'm able to locate the SymantecEndpointDSN now. Although the DSN didn't resolve my issue directly, it did lead to a solution.
