I posted this on a Symantec newsgroup, but thought I might get some
insight
here...

We have a new Small Business Server 2003, running the Corporate Edition
v.10
of Symantec AntiVirus. It is in a managed setup, with the console
installed
on the server. After restarting the server, access to the SSCC is fine.
However, after a while -- perhaps a few hours, up to a day -- the SSCC
fails
to open (the hourglass flickers for a second, then nothing happens). If
you
look in the Task Manager, "mmc" is running, but the SSCC never opened. I
verified through Services that the follow services are all automatic, and
running:

Symantec AntiVirus
Symantec AntiVirus Definition Watcher
Symantec Event Manager
Symantec Settings Manager
Symantec System Center Discovery Service


Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions as to what is going on, and how I
can
open the SSCC without restarting the server all the time?

If you're running 10.2, uninstall it and install 10.0 or 10.1, not
10.1.5. I've had to remove the 10.2 (installs on 2003 as 10.1.5) on
every server/network because of profile corruptions and lockups.

Symantec just sent me the Symantec EndPoint Protection as a replacement
for 10.x Corporate Edition (shows as version 11 now) and it's different.
I'm about to install SEPP on the same servers where 10.2 was locking up.

Interesting. I've got Corporate Edition 10.2 (10.1.5) running on 3 small SBS
client networks with no problems that I can detect.
