Change the standard port of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager July 8, 2008
Just thought that I would my this blog a bit techie and write about the things I do at work.
Recently I came across a problem when there is OWA and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installed on one server. If installed using the default settings Symantec service cannot start so I cannot create any packages with it. If installed using custom settings Symantec uses ports 80 and 443 to communicate with clients. The very same ports uses Exchange for OWA thus when both services are running Outlook becomes unavailable. The solution is very simple and takes only 10 minutes. Start the installer, choose “create a custom web site” and proceed with the installation. The new site will appear in the IIS directory where you can change the standard port. Don’t forget to restart the IIS afterwards.
