Hi,

As per screenshot client is in offline status.

What is the location for Sylink.xml in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1?

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH165055

Can you replace sylink.xml of affected windows 7 machine & check?

try re-installing the SEP and see if the client comes back.

 

or

This is a general error message indicating that communication with the server failed. Run the Symantec Endpoint Protection Support Tool to diagnose the problem.

Hi,

I think the Wininet.dll file is missing on the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

If the file is missing restore it to system32 folder --> reboot

Do a repair installation of SEP then once again reboot the machine.

See if it helps!
