Hi Jack, We had following errors: 2010-02-18 02:06:28 SW0002 Station SYSMON -00030 No Short-Term Reports Received 2010-02-18 02:06:28 SW0002 Station SYSMON -00043 Equipment failed 2010-02-18 02:06:28 SW0003 Station SYSMON -00030 No Short-Term Reports Received 2010-02-18 02:06:28 SW0003 Station SYSMON -00043 Equipment failed 2010-02-18 02:06:28 AW7001 Station SYSMON -00030 No Short-Term Reports Received 2010-02-18 02:06:28 AW7001 Station SYSMON -00043 Equipment failed 2010-02-18 02:06:33 SW0003 Station SYSMON -00041 Equipment on-line 2010-02-18 02:06:33 SW0002 Station SYSMON -00041 Equipment on-line On a small system like ours it was immediately clear this had something to do with the symantec tasks, because this was the only job running at that time. The errors didn't effect operations, but it fills up the sysmon file and you can easlily miss the really important errors..... Service tech Hans from Invensys Belgium solved it for us by downtuning the performance of the symantec backup task (tasks - options-performance). We haven't had this type of errors since then. Unfortunately I can't do the same with the virus update it seems...

We use Symantec extensively and also have random momentary System Monitor alarms, but they are mostly associated with CPs and FDSIs. We also had this problem before we started actually using scheduled backups, so I've never suspected Symantec.

Autoupdate is enabled, we have a global EPO server. We notice each time the autoupdate is running (when it's almost finished) an error in sysmon regarding one or more of the enterasys switches: 2010-04-28 01:12:27 SW0001 Station SYSMON -00030 No Short-Term Reports Received 2010-04-28 01:12:27 SW0001 Station SYSMON -00043 Equipment failed 2010-04-28 01:12:35 SW0001 Station SYSMON -00041 Equipment on-line It's not always the same switch, sometimes more than one, sometime no error msg at all. It has something to do with the autoupdate, cause that's the only "action" taking place at that time. When I disable autoupdate we do not get errors. We had errors caused by symantec backup also, but that's solved. Is there a way to avoid these errors by "tuning" the McAfee?
