| Symantec AntiVirus CE 10.1.5.5000 or earlier | If you perform an upgrade install of Vista with Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.1.5.5000 or earlier installed, the antivirus client will stop functioning, and you will be unable to reinstall it or install another client. | To resolve these issues, upgrade to the latest version of the antivirus client; see In Windows, how do I safely upgrade to the latest Symantec Endpoint or AntiVirus software? | 05-01-08 |
| Symantec AntiVirus CE and EFS | When using Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.2.0.276 on Windows Vista with files encrypted with Encrypting File System (EFS), Symantec autoprotect corrupts the EFS-protected files. | ||
| VPN/L2TP and PPTP | If you switch a network connection from one network adapter to another (e.g., from wired to wireless) and then dial a VPN connection to a remote VPN server, you'll be able to establish the connection to the remote VPN server, but you won't be able to access any network resources while connected to it. | Microsoft knowledge base article 930163 describes this problem and
provides a hotfix.
