The 500 error is an "Internal Server Error".
The 401 5 indicates that some ISAPI extension or CGI Web Application sent back a structured 401 response.
Due to the IIS 500 "Internal Server Error" we suspect the initial install of 11.1.2 did not complete correctly.
And the subsequent upgrade to 11.1.3 did not correct any errors from the initial install.
There are a few scenarios where this can happen:
Scenario 1: Server Roles configured for Administrative Access to the SEEMS Web Helpdesk Recovery Screen
After the Server Roles have been configured, administrators will still not connect. This has been observed when some of the administrators have been migrated that have SID history present.
Scenario 2: Server Roles configured for Administrative Access to the SEEMS
After adding Server Roles for Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server (SEEMS) Helpdesk Recovery.
Uninstalled the SEE server leaving the database intact
Rebooted the server.
Reinstalled SEE 11.1.3 using the original database.
Changed the SEE App Pool to use Classic instead of Integrated.
The web-based Help Desk can now be accessed using group membership.
