We have an exclusion set for F:\Imagenow and all subdirectories in Endpoint Protection. I see the exclusion in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions\ScanningEngines\Directory\Admin. However, on the server we see ccSvcHst.exe (Symantec) touching a ton of files in the F:\Imagenow directory. Our onsite Symantec support tells us that "Symantec touches the files anyway even though the exclusion is set". It is using 4x the disk IO of our application! Is this statement correct or have they configured the exclusion wrong?
Symantec touching files even with exclusions set?
new Sylink.XML only moves parts....
We changed domains on our network. I added the new domain to the SEPM. I exported the communications settings for the new domain and imported them to my client, but it only part way worked. My clients are reporting to the correct server, but it did not change the Group the PC are in to match the AD. I used the “Import” function in the SEP client and the “SylinkDrop” with the same results.

SEP clients length of time to update Virus Definitions.
Hi All,
I was wondering how long it generally takes for new clients to download content from Group Update Providers.
I have installed new clients and it has been around 4 days where the logs show that the client has been downloading new content successfully. However, I still have the error indicating that the Virus Definitions are out of date on the SEPM and on the Client, it indicates that the Virus definitions are missing or corrupted. As indicated there are new installs and has so far happened on a number of PCs.
Can anyone assist?
Corey.

Killing the SEP service
Hello everyone, recently we had a PT assesment in our SEP enviroment and the PT team had reported that they were able to succuesfully kill/bypass the SEP service. They also had a tool which they run and it disables the SEP. Also they used the taskkill command in cmd with local admin privalages and they bypassed it. Even though we already have the below enabled on the SEP side
- Password protection is enabled to stop the service. Verified it if someone tries to do smc- stop, we are prompted to supply the pasword.
- Password protection is enabled to uninstall the agent. Tried to uninstall from control panel, we are prompted to supply the password.
- If we try to go the task try right click on SEP shield, Disable Symantec Endpoint Protection is greyed out.
- Temper protection is enabled and the action for it is to Block and Log.
I also came across the below article and it works like this.

I am wondering how they SEP service can get killed even though temper protection is already enabled.

Some MacOS machines have been hit by different malware and PUA strains that are detected by SEP, but when checking the logs, the vendor actions shows "Left alone".

SEPM "Unexpected server error"
I am having trouble when attempting to view any page from the SEPM server that are sent through port 8443. When I attempt to log on to the SEPM program, I get "Unexpected server error" .
When a log on is successful, I have a 100% chance of getting "Unexpected server error" when I click on a task, such as clients, or admin.
SEPM trigger remote scan with API
I am creating python code to trigger a remote scan on a computer using this API.
https://apidocs.symantec.com/home/saep#_run_a_scan...
I am wondering if there is any way to do this without Advanced Threat Protection. Something like setting the date on the computer as having an out of date scan so it triggers SEPM to start another scan on its own.
Also, the documentaion references the eoc.wsdl
"The evidence of compromise command in XML. See eoc.xsd in the Remote Management and Monitoring documentation for the proper format."
I am having trouble finding this wsdl file. Can anyone help me find it? I have searched extensivly for Remote Management and Monitoring documentation but have not found the eoc.xsd.
