From the number of hits I've been getting on the posts on How to move Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to another server and on How to change Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager port its seems that a lot of you seem to be in need of information on this product. So I thought I'd share with you this as well.

If you're got your Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager "Symantec Web Server" website on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 (IIS 6.0); Install the FastCGI extension for IIS and configure the "Symantec Web Server" website to use it. Doing that should speed up your SEPM console. Well not all of it but mainly the Home, Monitors, and Reports pages will show the improvement.

You can find the documentation on how to do it in the installation CD's. Although I found this under the NoSupport directory Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_11_0_2000_MR2_AllWin_EN_CD2\TOOLS\NOSUPPORT\FASTCGI\FASTCGI_SETUP_README.PDF
. The instructions from Symantec state that "Symantec provides full support for the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager with the successful installation of the FastCGI extension.” So go ahead and give it a try.
