Can over deployment cause update issues?
Created: 15 Feb 2013 | Updated: 15 Feb 2013 | 6 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Say I 500 licenses, and I am over deployed by 15.
Is there a chance that the over deployment is preventing updates from being downloaded and installed to the clients/GUP?
Thank you

Hello,
Incase if you are running the SEP 12.1 Enterprise Edition, then there would be no virus definitions update issues.
For 12.1 Enterprise Edition, over deployed clients work normally. However you would keep receiving an alert notification for the same.
For 12.1 SBE, over deployed clients cannot download definitions. Plus there is a Grace count.
In both situations, the clients appear in the console.

In SEP 12.1 there are two types of enforcement.
Types of enforcement
When the license goes out of compliance the Symantec Endpoint Protection product goes into enforcement mode. There are two types of enforcement
1) Hard Enforcement: SEP 12.1 Small Business Edition (SBE)
2) Soft Enforcement: SEP 12.1 Enterprise Edition (EE)

We are slightly over deployed but will be getting up to date as soon as possible. Some machines have not been updating properly, some are GUP's and some are clients. There are no internet connection issues.
Being overdeployed won't cause machines to not update in enterprise edition.

Hello,
In your case, even if there are clients over deployed, for SEP 12.1 Enterprise Edition, over deployed clients work normally. However you would keep receiving an alert notification for the same.
