asked on

Symantec Endpoint Protection too much for an xpmode pc?

Hello.

I have a user who is using xpmode. xpmode keeps losing connections to a sql 2005 database. I have setup the xpmode to use the internet gigabit card. Set the card to 1gbs, not autonegotiate.

I read on a different post that symantec endpoint protection 12.1.x could be too much for an xpmode computer. Need a less resource intensive antivirus on the xpmode side, keep the symantec endpoint protection on the windows 7 side.

Can this be true. I thought the days of Norton taking resources were over. I was thinking about using NIS which is very low resource intensive, surprisingly so, and installing it on the xpmode pc to see if performance get's better.

Thanks,
J

Forgot to mention, using 12.1.3's version of SEP. Basically, the xpmode machine is losing connectivity to a sql database (2005 express). The regular xp pc (not windows 7 yet) connects fine. All the network settings are correct according to Microsoft who I paid for to check.
