Migrating the Symantec Management Console to 7.0.3 from a previous version of SEE.
Re-installing the Management Console doesn't resolve/change the error

 

Cause

Migration of the Framework must be done exactly as described in the Installation Guide PDF. The MSI must be run from a command line because it requires specific switches when performing a migration.

Resolution

Follow the migration steps in the Installation Guide, page 87.

The following is from the 7.0.5 documentation. Please defer to the documentation included with the version of SEE that you're installing.

Framework Upgrade
1. Before starting the upgrade, close all instances of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) currently running on the Manager Computer you are upgrading.
2. Transfer the installer packages comprising the latest release of the SEE Manager (Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework.msi and Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition.msi, along with any other Manager components you want to install) to removable media or a designated network share.
3. Log on to the Manager Computer using an administrator account possessing sufficient rights for installing software.
4. Locate the SEE Manager installer packages on the removable media or network share (Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework.msi and Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition.msi) and copy them to the local hard disk.
5. With the SEE Manager installer packages copied to the Manager Computer, upgrade SEE Framework first by double-clicking the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework.msi or invoking the Windows Installer with the following command-line parameters:
MSIEXEC /i "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Framework.msi" REINSTALL="ALL" REINSTALLMODE="vomus"
- Substitute [path] with the actual path on the Client Computer where the package was copied to.

Full Disk Upgrade

MSIEXEC /i "[path]\Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition.msi" REINSTALL="ALL" REINSTALLMODE="vomus"
