  • 1.  Unmanaged Client stops echo requests in VLAN?

    Posted Nov 10, 2010 05:31 PM

    I am running an unmanaged SEP 11.0.503.333 client in Hyper-V on server 2008 r2.

    When I install the unmanaged client, the server stops replying to echo requests.

    Wireshark trace shows that the ICMP packets are being received.

    This problem arrises if the SEP unmanaged client is installed.

    Event Viewer shows the following:
     

    Log Name:      Security
    Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing
    Date:          11/10/2010 3:31:42 PM
    Event ID:      5152
    Task Category: Filtering Platform Packet Drop
    Level:         Information
    Keywords:      Audit Failure
    User:          N/A
    Computer:      SERVERDNS1.test.domain
    Description:
    The Windows Filtering Platform has blocked a packet.

    Application Information:
     Process ID:  4
     Application Name: System

    Network Information:
     Direction:  Inbound
     Source Address:  78.14.221.45
     Source Port:  0
     Destination Address: 78.14.221.44
     Destination Port:  8
     Protocol:  1

    The odd part being that this message is that .44 is the local IP, and .45 is another server, but is being labled as 'inbound'.  This even is only created when the other server (.45) tries to ping the server with the unmanaged SEP client (.44).

    The problem goes away if the unmanaged client is uninstalled.

    What modules are installed with the unmanaged SEP? Antivirus..., Proactive..., Network...

    I suggest try using the Antivirus/Antispyware part only.
