Resolution

You can enable the UTC timestamp functionality using the following steps:

1. Stop the SEPM services:
   • semsrv
   • semwebsrv
   • semapisrv
   • semlaunchsrv
2. Open the conf.properties file under Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\etc
3. Add the following line:
   • scm.ext.logging.utc.enabled=true
4. Save the conf.properties file and restart SEPM services.

Note: The following logs do not support UTC. They will continue to use local time instead.

• scm_system
• scm_policy
• scm_agent_act
• scm_admin
