Symantec End Point Security

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Symantec End Point Security

A customer in Uxbridge MA, who called us that they no longer had access to files on their Windows 2003 Server R2 Edition. Turns out the Symantec Endpoint security was installed, and not properly configured.

The network Intrusion feature actually was blocking other systems from accessing the network share. We disabled the intrusion detection and everything started working again. Obviously, this was not the answer to the problem just the quick fix to get people working again.

The solution was to create a rule in the firewall section of the intrusion detection portion to allow traffic to the local network. Once that was done the system was fixed.
