Issue/Introduction

Checking the status of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client to SEP Manager through registry key

Resolution

The SEP client to SEPM connection status is indicated by one of the following 7 values in 32-bit DWORD key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC\SYLINK\SyLink\HeartbeatResult:

Value	Profile Routine Status	Details
0	PROFILE_ROUTINE_NO_CONNECTION	Failed to create a connection to Endpoint Protection Manager.
1	PROFILE_ROUTINE_CONN_REJECTED	The connection attempt was rejected (possibly, the Endpoint Protection Manager server is down).
2	PROFILE_ROUTINE_NO_NEW_PROFILE	The profile update completed successfully. There was no new profile to be downloaded.
3	PROFILE_ROUTINE_DOWNLOAD_FAILED	There was a new profile to be downloaded, but the download failed.
4	PROFILE_ROUTINE_APPLY_FAILED	The new profile downloaded successfully, but failed to apply.
5	PROFILE_ROUTINE_OK	The profile update completed and was applied successfully.
99	PROFILE_ROUTINE_PENDING	An initial value set prior to the first heartbeat –added to prevent erroneous logging if the Sylink constructor is called and a heartbeat has not yet taken place, from 12.1 RU1 onward. Should change to one of the aforementioned values after the first heartbeat.
