Manuel A commented on: SMART HDD virus removal
Yes, Just like other fake Antivirus, it has same common locations. This particular infection will hide all the files and folders, also the desktop icons. Even applications will be empty in All programs. I would suggest to run command "attrib -h -s "c:\*.*" /s /d" in cmd prompt and retrieve the applications and desktop icons from smtmp folder. Run a full scan with rapid release latest ...

Atlanta Jack commented on: Backup Exec 2012 - UI changes for backup jobs, restores
What a disappointing product. The interface looks like it is straight from Office 2007 complete with ribbon. I have used this product since Seagate Backup Exec 7.2. Veritas had it from 7.3 to 10D. It only took Symantec 6 versions to kill this software. When I leave the building some poor devil is wearing the System Administrator hat. I upgraded one of my customers yesterday to 14.0 who ...

Fred Kling commented on: Recommend External Drive for use with Backupexec 2010
Any USB 3.0 device that is recognized and supported by the Windows platform should work with the Backup Exec 2010 and Backup Exec 2012. Any USB 3.0 fixed disk device COULD be used as B2D, but currently only RDX devices are supported on the HCL. RDX capacity varies and the largest capacity is around 1 ...

Joshua Kane commented on: Network IP address Scheme modification: Impact on Backup Exec?
Jim:   There should be no issues with changing your IP address as far as Backup Exec is concerned.  The one note of caution I would put out there is that if you are specifying an IP range or specific NIC to backup through as opposed to all NIC's you may have to modify your job settings within BE.   Thanks, Joshua

Mithun Sanghavi commented on: Network IP address Scheme modification: Impact on SEPM and client?
Hello, Yes you can change the IP address of the SEPM server without breaking communication between the Clients and SEPM. In Theory : You need to tell the clients whom to contact if current IP is not available. So Add a new Management Server List. Priority1 Current IP:port CurrentName:port New IP:Port assign the package to all the groups. Change the communication setting to Push mode ...

Rob Moore commented on: Production Workflow Web Services Timing Out
There is a limit to how many connections you can have to a SQL server. In .NET, I believe the limit is 50 - which is usually enough. It seems you are exceeding that limit. This is usually casued by not closing the connection when your DB call is complete. You could try increasing the connection pool in the connection string by adding Max Pool Size=100. If your queries bomb out, then ...

OliveS posted: Allow wildcards in File Exclusions
To comply with Microsoft's recommended exclusions for domain controllers, wildcards within file exclusions are necessary and folder exclusion is not recommended.  For example, excluding the SYSVOL folder on domain controllers would allow any malicious file copied into that folder to be automatically replicated to all domain controllers in the environment.    We do not install ...

Bartoo commented on: Symantec DLP integration with Syamntec Web Gateway
It's very simple process. Just configure WebGW as a proxy, configure your web browsers proxy settings. Make one of your Detection server ICAP capable, put your detection server IP and listen port on webGW, and thats it.   Remember to turn off TRIAL mode on detection server - nothing will happen with that mode.

WK01 commented on: Port is Busy: All pipe instances are busy
We have SD 7.1 SP2 running on Windows 2008 SR2 with Service Pack 1 and we are getting this message frequently. We see that our Event Viewer is being hammered with this message every few minutes. Support is working on this now.  They feel it is a .NET Error.  I will post back any information they provide.
