Product FAQs

Seqrite Endpoint Protection is the best endpoint protection security tool for small to mid-size organizations. This application security provides complete antivirus protection against malware, Trojans, and worms, network security against backdoors, hackers, and spyware, and web security against phishing, riskware and pornware.

It is a web-based IT security management application that includes the following features:

• Manage clients in a small to mid-size network.
• Group clients into domains for managing network security centrally.
• Provides the latest information of all clients and keeps comprehensive logs about virus incidents, company security policies, and web security updates at a central location.
• Coordinates automatic deploy antivirus security policies, signature pattern updates, and software updates on every client and server.

Yes. Seqrite Endpoint Protection works on client/server architecture that ensures complete networking security.

• Agent Server: runs on server where Seqrite EPS is installed.
• Client Agent: runs on workstations
  • Default Port of Agent Server: 5047 (Administrator can change this default port)
  • Default Port of Client Agent: 62118 (If this port is used by any other application, Client Agent configures itself to some other port which is free. (E.g. 62118, 62119 etc.)

Agent Server is a service that runs on the Seqrite EPS Server system. It helps in sending various requests such as Client Settings, Scan Now, and Update Now to all the clients initiated by the Administrator. It also provides the latest information of the clients and keeps comprehensive logs about virus incidents, company security policies, and Endpoint Protection updates at a central location.

This feature of network security runs on every Seqrite EPS Client system. It communicates with the Agent Server and performs various tasks such as Scan Now and Update Now initiated from the Admin Server by the Administrator. It also sends virus logs to the Admin Server when any infection is found and status information is changed.

Yes. Seqrite provides a tool called Update Manager integrated with Seqrite Endpoint Protection that is centrally deployed to help download the latest updates from the server of Seqrite. This tool constantly monitors whether new updates are available from Seqrite and if available it automatically downloads them. It shares the latest downloaded updates with all the clients in the network. Thus you do not need to download the updates on all the clients separately. This feature provides complete application and computer data security against the latest threats.

Understanding the needs of today’s IT security management, Seqrite Endpoint Protection has been designed to be deployed in various ways such as:

• Synchronization with Active Directory
• Remote install
• Notify Install
• Client Packager
• Login script setup
• Disk imaging

Possible causes are listed as follows:

• The Client Agent is not able to download the build as the Endpoint Protection site is not accessible from the remote system. This problem may occur in the case of domain-based network and improper DNS configuration.
• URL or port is blocked in Firewall.
• Insufficient free disk space on a remote system.
• The Agent Server service is not started on the Endpoint Protection server.
• Internet connection is configured using Proxy Server.
• Incorrect subnet mask is configured on the remote system.

You can resolve this problem in any of the following ways:

• Check the system on which the Endpoint Protection server is installed. Check whether it is getting 'ping' from the remote system.

Give the ping command in the following way:

• If the Endpoint Protection site has been configured on IP Address
  ping < IP address of Admin Server>
  Example: ping 192.168.100.34
• If the Endpoint Protection site has been configured on Domain Name
  ping < domain name of Admin Server >
  Example: ping seqrite.admin.com
• In the case of a Domain-based network, if the Endpoint Protection site is configured on Domain Name and DNS is not properly configured, the remote system will not be able to ping the Endpoint Protection Server system. To solve this problem, the Administrator needs to configure proper DNS settings on the remote system.
• We recommend you to configure the Endpoint Protection Site on the IP Address insted of configuring it on the domain name.
• Check the Installer logs (Go to Client > Client Settings > View Status > View Installer logs).Here, you will get the exact reason about why Seqrite is not getting installed on the remote system.
• If any Firewall is running, check whether the URL or Port through which the build is getting downloaded is blocked.
• Ensure there is sufficient disk space on the Remote System to download and install Seqrite Endpoint Protection, if the installer log shows installation failed due to insufficient disk space.

• Verify if the Agent Server service is started on the Endpoint Protection server.

  • Go to Start > Run.
  • Type Services.msc.
  • Click OK.
  • In Services, check the Agent Server Service status is 'Started'.

• Verify if the Client Agent Service is started on Remote System.

  • Go to Start > Run.
  • Type Services.msc.
  • Click OK.
  • In Services, check the Client Agent Service status is 'Started'.

• If Internet Connection is configured using Proxy Server, it may not be able to resolve the name or IP of the Endpoint Protection server. In this case, bypass the Proxy Settings for the Endpoint Protection site.
• Subnet Mask of the Remote System should be as per the IP class assigned to the Endpoint Protection server system.

Possible causes are listed as follows:

• The Client Agent is not able to connect to the Agent Server OR vice versa.

This problem can be resolved in any of the following ways:

• Check if both the Endpoint Protection server and Remote System are able to communicate with each other on the configured port. To check, follow these steps:

  • Verify if the Agent Server Service is started on the Endpoint Protection server.
    • Go to Start > Run.
    • Type Services.msc.
    • Click OK.
    • In Services, check the Agent Server Service status is 'Started'.
  • Verify if the Client Agent Service is started on Remote System.
    • Go to Start > Run.
    • Type Services.msc.
    • Click OK.
    • In Services, check the Client Agent Service status is 'Started'.
  • Telnet < IP Address of Endpoint Protection Server > < Agent Server Port > 
    Suppose IP address of the Endpoint Protection Server is 192.168.100.34 and 5047 is the port on which Agent Server is listening. Then execute the following command on the remote system.
    Telnet 192.168.100.34 5047

• If you receive any response from the Agent Server, check whether the Agent Server is able to communicate with the Client Agent.

  • Telnet < IP address of Remote System > < Client Agent Port >
    Suppose the IP address of the remote system is 192.168.100.66 and 62118 is the port on which the Client Agent is listening, then execute the following command on Endpoint Protection Server.
    Telnet 192.168.100.66 62118

• Please check if any Firewall service is installed on the system. If so, then the Firewall can block the communication between Agent Server and Client Agent.

Possible causes are listed as follows:

• When proxy setting has been configured in Internet Explorer, it tries to resolve the Endpoint Protection site via Proxy Server and if Proxy Server is not able to resolve it, the site does not open.

This problem can be resolved in any of the following ways:

Check the Proxy Server configuration of the remote system. Proxy Server should be able to resolve the IP address or domain name on which the Endpoint Protection site is configured.

Follow these steps to bypass Proxy Server while opening the Endpoint Protection site:

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connection Tab > Click on LAN Settings.
• Click the Advance button.
• In the Exceptions section, type the address of the Endpoint Protection website along with the Port number.
• Click OK.

Taking the latest updates regularly ensures complete computer data security. If the Update Manager is not able to take the updates, the following may be its causes:

• Firewall is blocking the Update Manager Application.
• Firewall is blocking the Seqrite URL.
• Firewall is blocking the extensions like .bin or .dat.
• Update Manager Connection is configured through Proxy Server.

This problem can be resolved in any of the following ways:

• Check the Firewall settings and allow Update Manager, the Seqrite URL and extensions like .bin  or .dat  if they are blocked.
• Clear the cache of the Proxy Server.

Possible causes are listed as follows:

• Web Server Service is not running.
• Endpoint Protection Site or its port is blocked by Firewall.
• Request is going through Proxy Server but the Proxy Server is not able to resolve.

This problem can be resolved in any of the following ways:

• If the Endpoint Protection server is configured using IIS Server, check if the IIS Admin Service is running. Also check whether the Endpoint Protection website is running in IIS.

• If the Endpoint Protection server is configured using Apache HTTP Server, check if the Apache Service is running.

  • Go to  Start > Run.
  • Type Services.msc.
  • Click  OK.
  • In Services, check the Apache2 Service status is 'Started'.

• Check for if TERMINATOR (UTM) device in the network is blocking the port. If so, open the port of the Endpoint Protection server.

Note:

• The steps mentioned above are applicable to the default policy of Seqrite Endpoint Protection.
• If your system on which Microsoft Exchange Server is installed, is in a different group that has some different policy applied, then you need to configure the above mentioned settings for that policy. You can do so from Client Settings > Manage Policies section.

The following list/locations is recommended by Microsoft for Microsoft Exchange server:

Microsoft Exchange Server:

Cluster:

%systemroot%\Cluster\*.*

IIS server:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\*.*

Note:

• %SYSTEMROOT% specifies the location of the Windows folder i.e C:\WINDOWS e.g. %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 = C:\WINDOWS\System32
• %ProgramFiles% specifies the location of the Program Files folder i.e C:\Program Files.
• %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ specifies the location of Systems root drive i.e. C:\
• *.* specifies include Sub Folder.
