I have only tried the unmanaged clients. Does the SEP Manager work without any kind of serial as well?
Oh well, doesn't really matter as I only have four clients at home but it would be nice to centralize the configuration and update. Especially my HTPC which my girlfriend is using 24/7 for DVB-S2.. Would be nice to manage it through SEP Manager in the background. Am I the only one who can't figure out how to export and import setting from one SEP installation to another? Help - Troubleshoot - Management - Export Policy Profile doesn't seem to do much? I did export the profile from one of my SEP 12.1.5 installation that I had configured and imported in into another and nothing seemed to change.
i'm wondering how it is possible that symantec doesn't know this tip after 1,5 years and still give us SEP for free
This offers a very basic level of protection. You need some polices (paid) in order to get a better protection.
i don't agree with you. i used the licensed version in my company during 5 years. There is no difference about the protection, it's just that the license let you manage all the antivirus installed in your company through the SEPM. you create a policy with some rules and configurations in SEPM, it is immediately deployed on all SEP. The unmanaged installation of SEP are for people outside your local network (usually the salesmen), when they can't be updated by your SEPM server. The SEPM is also useful because it is the only one in your network to get the updates from internet, all SEP are getting the updates through the SEPM server, so it saves your internet bandwidth. Imagine what will happen in your company if 100 PC are downloading the 300MB virus update files at the same time ?
They know and they don't care because probably not many people are knowing about it and those that do know probably go ESET or some other protection. I used it and ditched it, it's not that great, I have ESET and MBAM on demand now, works well. For small files I also use Virustotal uploader.
SEP is doing great, according to AV Comparatives, on par with Kaspersky in real world protection. I personally go with Kaspersky IS or Avira Pro.
You can differentiate the links as to whether or not they are RU5 or RU6 just by looking at the file name. Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1.6_All_Clients_EN.zip = RU6 Also yes, I can verify old & current versions work for Windows XP
Thanks. Would you be able to direct me to a some information regarding setting this up on a server so that upon installing it on the clients, they can connect to the server to update their definitions?
New version adding W10 compatibility should be out by now. Well, adding _12.1.6._MP1_All_Clients_ to previous links does the trick.
