Hi All,
I am trying to setup Endpoint Protection to password protect the disable feature on the client side. Some users need the ability to occasionally disable the password component.
I cannot find where to set this option. Any help would be useful.

Check this and let us know whether it helped.
As per the screenshot above you have to set this option..and Make sure you do this for all the groups in which you have clients for whom you want to give Password.
The options Require a password to:
stop the client service, import or export a policy, and uninstall the client
are already set for all the groups.
Pete's option will not users to disable SEP
Sandeeps option will help you to set password for unistall
better to have both combinations.
I have created a new test group, put a laptop into it and applied Pete's and Sandip's suggestions. The problem persists. Could it be that I am not prompted for the disable password when I attempt to stop the Endpoint protection services because I am using an administrator account?
Even if you apply password or apply the policy suggested by pete still you cannot disable users ability to disable "Symantec Endpoint Protection " Service.
You should try stopping symantec management client service not symantec endpoint protection service
go to start
run
type smc -stop
it will ask you for the password.
Exactly. The only thing that seems to happen is that there service restarts itself after 5 minutes. I saw this set somewhere in the policy.
That seems to do it. I guess I was looking in the wrong place.
Thanks for all the help!
