Recommended Solutions for Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.x in Shared and PvD Virtual Machines Applicability When Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP 12.1.x is installed in a virtual machine (VM using a Citrix s Synchronizer with a version older than version 5.5 and subsequently deployed to end- users, the resulting VM in the end- user s machine may show the network as disabled and/or Symantec s console may report several problems. The images below illustrate how Windows depicts a disabled network and how the Symantec console may report issues with its services. These problems can be fixed by following the directions provided in this guide. The sample code and OS Profile provided in the appendices are included in Synchronizer version 5.5 and newer and thus, you will not need to create or import them into the Synchronizer. You will, however, still need to make sure they are used as described here for proper deployment of SEP. Summary This section explains the technical reasons why SEP was previously failing in deployed Synchronizer VMs. You may choose to skip it and proceed to the deployment sections that follow. To prepare a VM for a virtualized environment, Symantec describes a process to remove all unique identifiers from the golden image prior to deployment (see Symantec s Tech Note 54706 How to prepare a Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.x client for cloning. The note describes how to remove the Windows registry entries and a file where these unique identifiers are kept. Part of Symantec s
protection against attacks on its services is to protect changes to its files and registry keys. This security feature is called Tamper Protection and it must be disabled prior to making these changes, as specified in Symantec Tech Note 192023 How to disable Tamper Protection in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. If this step is not performed, you won t be able to remove the registry entries and file. After these changes are made and after the first boot of that clean image, a Symantec service will generate a new unique ID and register with the Symantec Management server. During the process of preparing a VM for deployment, Synchronizer will boot the VM one time to install its services. The need to boot the VM after it has been cleaned causes the Symantec service to generate a unique ID, as described above, and thus, the golden image is imprinted with a unique identifier, which, if it were to be deployed, would cause all endpoints to register with the same ID in the Symantec Manager. To get around this problem, Synchronizer documents how to modify the VM publish process to properly remove the unique identifiers after the publish process finishes. This extension to the publishing process requires manual intervention by an administrator prior to publishing the VM. The administrator must copy the file publishextend- SEP.cmd from Synchronizer s configuration directory (typically C:\Program Files\Citrix\Synchronizer\conf\scripts to the VM s C:\ drive and rename that file publishextend.cmd. This needs to be done only once for each VM that has Symantec installed. The purpose of this file (refer to Appendix A for an example of its contents is to remove the Symantec registry entries and file which contain the unique Symantec identifiers. PublishExtend.cmd will fail to execute properly if Tamper Protection is enabled, and for this reason, Synchronizer must first disable all Symantec services. This is done by another file in Synchronizer s configuration directory called disableservicesxxx.txt where XXX is the OS type (XP, VISTA, WIN7, WIN8, etc.. See Appendix B for a portion of its contents. When the VM is finally deployed to an endpoint, Citrix software in the endpoint will ensure the same services that were disabled by disableservicesxxx.txt are re- enabled. For PvD VMs, which virtualize the file system and Windows registry access, the re- enablement of the Symantec SEP services happens in the virtual registry, which is not accessible at the time Symantec services are initiated. The end result is that Symantec services are not fully re- enabled. In this state, Symantec automatically shuts down the network and reports problems with services that could not be started. For Shared VMs, the process of preparing a VM in the client requires that the C:\ProgramData directory be moved to the user drive (U:. Citrix then installs a shortcut or link from C:\ProgramData to the new location. SEP 12.1.x keeps some of its critical data and services under C:\ProgramData and this re- direction to another drive causes SEP to refuse to start those services. Recommended Solution To resolve the issues described in the previous sections, Citrix recommends that you perform the following steps when publishing a PvD and Shared VM. The goal is to have the Synchronizer golden VMs placed in an SEP group which has Tamper Protection disabled, thus allowing modification of the critical SEP files and registry entries needed to create a clean image. Then when those golden VMs are deployed to an end- user, they are automatically placed in another SEP group with Tamper Protection enabled.
NOTE: This solution only works with PvD and Shared VMs with snapback enabled. Custom and Shared VMs with snapback disabled are not supported. Create Symantec Client Group and Install Packages for Synchronizer VMs (Golden VMs created on Synchronizer This step creates an SEP group with Tamper Protection disabled which will be used exclusively by the Synchronizer VMs. It also shows how to create the installation package that will be installed in those VMs. To perform this step: 1. Login to Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, Click the Clients tab and Create a group called Synchronizer VM Group : 2. Disable Tamper Protection for Synchronizer VM Group group by following these steps: a. Select Synchronizer VM Group group, Click on Policies on the Main Panel and disable Inherit policies and settings from parent group My Company (if enabled b. Click on General Settings link. c. Select the Tamper Protection tab and do the following: i. Set Log Only for Action to take if application attempt to tamper with or shutdown Symantec security software ii. Disable Protect Symantec security software from being tampered with or shutdown. iii. Click OK.
3. Click Admin Panel > Install Packages > Select Client Install Packages. 4. Select the required package (SEP WIN32Bit / SEP WIN64BIT from the Main Panel and Export the Package by checking the group called Synchronizer VM Group. Create Symantec PvD/Shared Group for Client PvD/Shared VMs and Export SyLink.xml file for Deployment This step creates an SEP group with Tamper Protection enabled which will be used to provide the profile rules for end- user PvD VMs. It also shows how to export this group s configuration file for use during the Synchronizer publishing step. Note: The same steps can be followed to create group for Shared VMs.
1. Login to Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, Click on Clients tab and Create a group called PvD VM Group. 2. Right- click the group PvD VM Group, select Export Communications Settings and save the file with default settings; rename the file Sylink.xml. Make sure Tamper Protection is enabled for the PvD VM Group before exporting the SyLink.xml file. Create/Publish the Golden VM for Deployment Perform these steps to create and publish the golden VM for deployment: 1. Install the exported Symantec AV package which was described in the section Create Symantec Client Group and Install Packages for Synchronizer VMs on the newly created golden VM (PvD VM created on Synchronizer with all the necessary Window and SEP updates; you may need to reboot the VM. 2. Verify that Tamper Protection is Disabled; in the golden VM on synchronizer, open the Symantec console and select the Change Settings, click Configure Settings to the right of the Client Management option. Consider the following: a. Protect Symantec security software from being tampered with or shutdown should be disabled.
b. The Action to take if application attempt to tamper with or shutdown Symantec security software option should be set to Log Only. Refer to Symantec Tech Note 192023 for more information. 3. Create a backup copy of disableservicesxxx.txt in the Synchronizer configuration directory (typically C:\Program Files\Citrix\Synchronizer\conf. XXX represents the OS type (XP, VISTA, WIN7, WIN8, etc. of the VM to be published. 4. In Synchronizer versions older than 5.5, please edit disableservicesxxx.txt in the Synchronizer configuration directory and remove all entries that deal with Symantec services except the entries SmcService and SepMasterService. These entries are the ones listed Appendix B. 5. Boot the golden VM you want to deploy and do the following: a. Copy the scripts publishextend- SEP.cmd and publishextend.cmd found in the Synchronizer s C:\Program Files\Citrix\Synchronizer\conf\scripts directory to "C:\" of the VM to be published. In Synchronizer 5.5 and earlier, these scripts do not exist. Copy the contents of Appendix C to the respective files. Make sure that long lines, such as the registry key name, are not entered as two separate lines but rather one long line. b. Copy Sylink.xml (described in the previous section to the C:\ drive. 6. Shutdown the VM and publish the VM using Synchronizer. 7. Assign the VM to different endpoints. Boot those client VMs and verify that Symantec now works, and access to the network has been restored. Important Information about Publishing Starting the published VM (golden VM on Synchronizer may result in invalid offline clients (duplicate entries being left in the client view in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. This could affect licensing and reporting. This issue is specific to running Synchronizer on Windows Server 2012 R2 and it has been resolved in Synchronizer version 5.1.4. Earlier versions should follow use the steps described below. There are two options for removing duplicate clients: Let the duplicate client s time out according to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager site's aging criteria. This is 30 days by default. Manually delete the offline clients from the client view page (as illustrated below: Once you update the downloaded VM to the next higher version (PvD VM downloaded to client machines, the result may be invalid offline clients (duplicates being left in the client view in Symantec Protection Manager. This could affect licensing and reporting. This issue is has been resolved in Synchronizer version 5.1.4. Earlier versions should use the steps described below.
There are two options for removing the clients: Let the duplicate client s time out according to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager site's aging criteria. This is 30 days by default. Manually delete the offline clients from the client view page (as illustrated below. Create and Apply an OS Profile to Preserve SEP Files and Registry Keys When a new VM is published, specific SEP keys must be re- applied at the client to the new VM version in order for the SEP Manager to continue identifying it as the same SEP client. This is done via an OS Profile rule that tells the clients to save and restore these keys. In Synchronizer versions older than 5.5, this profile must be created by the administrator and imported into the Synchronizer. In Synchronizer version 5.5 and newer, this policy is automatically imported and available under the Definitions folder as Symantec Endpoint Protection. To create an OS profile: 1. In Synchronizer, copy the contents of Appendix D into an editor and save the file with an XML extension (for example, Symantec- OS- Profile.xml. Make sure that long lines, such as the registry key name, are not entered as two separate lines but rather one long line. 2. Import the OS profile by navigating to the Polices folder - > Virtual Machines - > OS Profiles - > PVD - > Definitions. The OS Profile Definition Actions panel will be displayed on the right; in this area, there will be an Import button. Click it to display a file browser in which you can specify the location and file name of the OS Profile you created above. Click Finish to complete the operation.
3. After importing the OS Profile, it appears in the Synchronizer UI labeled Symantec Endpoint Protection. Click the policy name to display its contents which consists of an SEP Registry keys and/or Files, as illustrated below:
4. After importing the OS Profile, you can create a policy that can be assigned to a VM. To create a policy for a PvD VM, start by navigating to Policies - > Virtual Machine - > OS Profile - > PVD. On the right pane, you will see the Policy Actions and a Create button; click Create to display a popup menu: 5. In the Create popup menu, select OS Profile (PVD. The Create OS Profile (PVD Policy screen appears. 6. In the Create OS Profile (PVD Policy screen, enter a name for the policy (i.e., Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.0, specify a description, and click Next:
7. Select the Symantec Endpoint Protection policy and assign it using the checkbox. Click Finish. The new profile is ready to be assigned to a PvD VM. 8. For Shared VMs, repeat the above steps but select the Shared and Custom Folder under OS Profile. 9. In the Virtual Machines section of Synchronizer, select the VM that will receive the new policy. Select the Policies tab; in the OS Profile field, select SEP 12.0 from the drop- down menu. Click Save in the upper right portion of the interface to apply the change.
10. Assign the VM to a user; the SEP client ID will now be preserved if that VM is restored from backups or re- provisioned to another computer; note that in order to preserve the SEP client ID, the IT administrator must allow user backups to take place and at least one backup should have taken place before the VM is restored or migrated to a different computer. Otherwise, the SEP client will be lost and a new one created upon re- provisioning of the VM.
