Symantec Endpoint Encryption

Server less Installation

Version 8.0.0

Server less mode is an option selected during the installation of Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager Console. Manager console installed in this mode do not communicate with the Symantec endpoint encryption database and generates a client install package. Clients do not attempt to communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Manager.

Server less mode can be useful in the following situation : -

• You do not have a large deployment and the additional cost of Symantec Endpoint Encryption database and Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server and deemed prohibitive.
• The Manager Console only needs to send policies out of the Active Directory clients.
• The Manager Console does not need to run reports
• You do not have any Symantec  Hard Disk Encryption clients and/or do not need Recover /B or the online One-Time password method.

The following are the steps to perform the server less method installation.
