Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Logs Are Huge

Recently a server's OS drive filled up very quickly before I realised that I had not turned on log truncation in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM). As soon as I performed a truncation and set SEPM to do it every four hours, all was well with the server.

To do this complete the following:

  1. Log in to the SEP Manager.
  2. Click Admin and select Servers.
  3. Select the localhost under Servers.
  4. Under Tasks, Select Edit Database Properties.
  5. In the General tab under Database Maintenance Tasks.
  6. Select the checkboxes next to Truncate the database transaction logs and Rebuild Indexes.
  7. Click OK to apply the changes.

Google App Sync for Outlook and Click-to-Run

If you have a non click-to-run version of Outlook 2013, but Google Apps Sync for Outlook won't work properly because it thinks you do have a click-to-run version, try the following:

a. Click 'Start' > 'Run'.
b. Type 'regedit' and click 'OK'.
c. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRunStore AND HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRunStore
d. Right click it and choose 'Rename'.
e. Change the name from 'ClickToRunStore' to 'ClickToRunStore1'.
f. Install Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.
g. Back in the Registry Editor, right click 'ClickToRunStore1'.
h. Choose 'Rename' and change the name back to 'ClickToRunStore'.

If you DO have a click-to-run version of Outlook, I would not recommend trying to use it with GASFO, as Outlook is only a streaming version of the software and will effectively be uninstalled when you log out of the click-to-run system.
