Terminal Servers Missing from RWW List in EBS 2008 [6]

Wed, 07/15/2009 - 14:18 — Jens

Unlike Small Business Server (SBS) 2003, Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 Remote Web Workplace (RWW) does not automatically publish any links to your application sharing servers.

Resolving PHP.INI Conflicts with SEP11 [19]

Thu, 03/26/2009 - 13:03 — Jens

When installing Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on a server already running PHP you may get the following error when you try to log in: Unable to communicate with the reporting component. This can be caused by conflicting settings in your PHP.INI file. If your existing PHP installation uses a different version than the one supplied by SEP11 then you can remedy this by specifying a version specific PHP.INI in the registry.
