Symantec has an article about it but no real solution. They mention two applications that change service privileges and suggest to install the latest version. I don't have any of those. "Symantec has confirmed that during the installation of third-party wireless management software the software adjusts the operating system's default security policy for the Wireless Zero Configuration Service. Some of this software removes the necessary rights for the System account to access the service. Symantec Endpoint Protection requires the service to be stopped during installation so it can properly register components with the operating system. " How do I the necessary rights to the system account to stop services? regards, Osama ________________________________ Disclaimer:This communication contains information that is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
