Hello All,
Here is the PDF for Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Best Practices in a Virtual Environment:
The document is intended to capture the complete set of best practices for installation and configuration of Symantec Endpoint Protection version 12.1 in a virtual environment.
Optimized for performance on virtual systems, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 can automatically identify and manage virtual machines (VMs). Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 also integrates directly with VMware’s security APIs to scan for malware inside offline VMware images. To alleviate concurrent scans, known as ‘AV Storms,’ from impacting performance in dense virtual environments, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 whitelists baseline VM images and shares scan results across VMs so that identical files only need to be scanned once across an entire pool. When combined with the scanning elimination from Insight, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 enables faster, more responsive host systems, which in turn supports greater density of virtual instances, particularly for highly consolidated VDI environments.
Any machine with SEP installed will count against the license count, VMs included.
If you install as unmanaged than you cannot control the clients from the SEPM. Unless you walk around to every client and check individually than you basically have no central control over your clients. You will also need to configure each one if they're not managed.
The article can still apply to small networks as well. What part of the configuration do you need help with?
This white paper and the ones it links to are written for users with a large number of computers. However, I have a small network -- 4 boxes, 1 of which runs a virtual machine plus its host OS. My questions are basic. Do I need a separate license for the virtual machine? Is there is a reason I shouldn't install EndPoint in unmanaged mode? (I initially configured my installation for managed mode but found that entering setting a few times is easier and faster than learning to use managed mode.) Are any of your suggestions for efficiency applicable and, if so, which ones?
OK, my network is an extreme. Still, can you point me to a white paper with instructions for configuring EndPoint for small networks, even if they're not as small as mine? If not, I think you need such a paper, At least, I know I need one.
Many thanks man for sharing this artcile !
