The cause of this conflict is currently being investigated. At this time, it appears that the code injection that Application and Device Control performs may cause a conflict with Netbackup DLO agent in certain hardware/driver configurations.
A permanent fix is being investigated by Symantec engineering.
In the meantime, the following workaround has proven to be successful in some Symantec and customer configurations to mitigate the issue.
A centralized exception must be added to your SEP Client policy using the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) console. The exception cannot be made on the client directly, as the client lacks the capacity to make ADC exceptions.
Policy changes typically go into affect immediately, but if you may need to reboot in the event the exception does not appear to work.
The procedure of creating an Application Control exception is illustrated in the Connect article Creating Application Control Exclusions in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 |
If you are experiencing trouble with this workaround, or are experiencing this issue and have not yet created a case with Symantec Support, please call our support line and open a case so we may assist you and adequately track the scope of this issue.
