Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

You perform several tasks to install the management server and the console. In the installation wizard, a green check mark appears next to each completed task.

Note:

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager requires access to the system registry for installation and normal operation. To prepare a server that runs Windows Server 2003 to install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a remote desktop connection, you must first allow remote control on the server. You must also use a remote console session, or shadow the console session.
