Symantec and POS is a very familiar theme these days. I always said they are becoming the new CA.

Which is depressing, since Im stil slated to have to install it myself. Here's a bit of a posting from a local Boston-area UG withing the past 24 hours: Subject: [...] TechTips: Anyone been using Symantec EndPoint Protection? Msg Body: I have been a bit so far... What a POS... So far, it has taken down a DC, installed some firewall called "Network Threat Protection" (even when you don't want it to), and magically overwritten its own policies (which are managed from a centralized server). My favorite feature of the "Network Threat Prevention" is that it seemingly cuts off access to those pesky network shares. Oyyy. Follup up from OP: Oyyyy..... Amazingly, the product deployed OK in my test environment... Ugh... Jon On Jan 24, 2008 7:12 AM, Jon Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Good luck!

All was OK with this site until this morning and now all clients have no Internet access - they can resolve Internet domain names but cant then get to them. There is no ISA on the server either.
