Issue/Introduction

Symantec Endpoint Protection Linux clients show "Rejected" status when Active or Full Scan is sent as a command.

Cause

This is a known issue with the Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3 and 14.3 Maintenance Patch 1 (MP1) Linux client.

Resolution

To work around this issue, use the Custom Scan option when sending a scan command.

Note: The Custom Scan command uses the configuration defined in the Virus and Spyware Protection Policy for Administrator On-demand Scan settings when performing the scan.

To configure the Administrator On-demand Scan settings, edit the Virus and Spyware Protection Policy assigned to the client group(s) containing the Linux clients that you need to scan. The Administrator On-demand Scan settings are located under the Linux Settings > Scheduled Scans > Administrator-Defined Scans section of the policy editor. To edit the settings, browse to the section mentioned previously, then click on the "Edit..." button next to Administrator On-demand Scan settings.

Additional Information

This issue will be resolved in a future version of Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3.
