Environment

ITMS 8.5, 8.6

Cause

The "Symantec Agent" website didn't have the expected certificate

Resolution

Try the following:

1. Open IIS Manager and go to Sites>Symantec Agent
2. Under Bindings (right-side frame), click on the CEM port (usually 4726)
3. Make sure that there is a certificate assigned to it. In the error message mentioned earlier,
   Failed to parse store name for certificate defined by thumbprint 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAD07FF4C2875E3FFE3CA8D'. Certificate lookup will be performed.
   
   it indicates what certificate is looking for by the mentioned thumbprint.
   
   Note:
   If there is no a certificate assigned to the CEM port, add one
