Hi,

I have only spent 5 minutes on this so far, but I saw the same issue with Symantec Endpoint Protection version 14.2 MP1 with patch 1031 (the latest I know of.

If I learn more, I'll post.

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Brad, But as i mentioned in my analysis, when any machine with SEP installed is not on the domain, there is no problem opening Server Manager. It is only when the machine becomes domain joined that the issue occurs. I don't believe SEP is the problem.

It is the SEPM causing the issue. You can either remove the device and application control or can create an exception in sepm: Windows exception - File, file is servermanager.exe and select application control.

  Hi chris905, I created exceptions for both security/file as well as a custom application and pointed to C:\Windows\System32\ServerManager.exe However, it's still an issue like nothing is changed. I haven't tried a case where i would remove SEP from a domain joined machine to see if it is still a problem, but as i stated a few times above, it's highly unlikely that it's SEP.
  
  I'm just surprised not more people are affected by this.
