Symantec Embedded Database Stops Automatically

If you face Symantec Embedded Database Stops Automatically 

This happened in one of my customer place where all computers was in workgroup about 300 +,
so if i start installing new SEPM i have to install the client one by one to users computer, it will be pain and long process.

Please check the following details:

1. Check if can backup the db from SEPM in program files\Database Backup
2. If you have contacted symantec Support and checked that there is problem with the DB and you should create or install a new SEPM . Please use the below link to install the same, so you don't need to install or push the client again
3.There are automatic start service's softwares available , it will automatically start the service if it stops
install the demo version so you can take all the backup of files and settings  in SEPM console
4. Export the policy setting of client polices so all the setting will not change.
