Symantec Protection Center Setup
Hi Prachand,
very good article, thank you very much. I have only a question, where can I find the documentation to setup Symantec Protection Center? I have upgraded SEP Manager RU5 to SEP Manager RU6, but I was not able to find any reference to Symantec Protection Center. I tried to use the setup.exe inside the DVD, but in the installation options there was not any reference to Symantec Protection Center. Can you help me?
Thank you very much,
Alex

Will scan randomization require RU6 on the client as well as the SEPM? How will older clients treat a randomized scan policy?
