We are on XenDesktop 7.15LTSR CU4 and App Layering v20.3.0.12. The OS Layer is using Server 2016. I'm trying to layer a new version of SEP and running into two issues that I can't find a solution for. Our old app layer of SEP v14.0.3752.1000 works without any issues.
Issue 1: After installing the new version (v14.2.5...) in a brand new app layer we continually get the message "a reboot is pending to update drivers on the boot disk - please check and reboot the Packaging Machine" when trying to finalize the layer. This is after literally rebooting the packaging machine 10 times. I eventually got around this issue by restarting the uniservice Service.
Issue 2: After publishing the new SEP layer as part of a PVS image i notice that the CurrentVersion folder under "C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection" is missing the NTFS junction point to the v14.2.5323.2000.105. The junction point is NOT missing when I first install the new version of SEP on the new layer. The junction point only goes missing when the layer is made part of an image template and the image is published. The old app layer with v14.0.3752.1000 does NOT having this problem.
I have followed the same steps I followed when layering the old version of SEP, using the specific Antivirus/SEP instructions provided by Citrix and other sources. Has anyone else run into these issues?
