This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have about 100 unmanaged clients in my company, last version sep 12. I want to convert clients from unmanaged to managed, if there is a way through management console. if not, i need a fastest solution and most effective way to convert my clients to managed.
My management server is SEPM 12.1.671

you can use the sylink
you can use the sylink replacer utility for SEP 12 to replace the sylink.xml to convert unmanaged to managed client.

My SEPM12 is installed on
My SEPM12 is installed on windows server 2008 R2 enterprise with SP1. I run sylink replacer on SEPM server but it was finished unsuccessful. it found unmanaged clients, copy sylink.xml to clients, but my client stay unmanaged after that...
What is other solution, to convert unamanged to managed clients, remotly ?
hi
You need to manually do it , coz the location of sylink is different in SEP 12.1
or You can use the tool which can be run on individually,
To replace Sylink, follow the Steps
To replace Sylink.xml file on computer you will have to use Sylinkdrop utility. You will find this utility by default at two locations
1. Every SEP client will have Sylinkdrop utility under bin folder e.g C:\Program files\Symantec \Symantec Endpoint Protection \12.1.xx.xx\Bin
2. You wil find it under tools folder with original setup files . (CD's or downloaded files)
3. Sylink replacer tool will not work with SEP 12.1

Where I have to change the path for SEP 12.1 ???
This tool is not so effecient
are you using the sylink
are you using the sylink replacer for SEP 12.1? If not, open a case with Symantec support to get the tool.
As mentioned above...
Are the unmanaged clients 11.0.x or 12.1?
You can get either the Sylink Replacer for SEP 11, or Sylink Replacer for 12.1, but the version you use will depend on the version of SEP installed to the clients because the location for the sylink.xml file has changed. You can get this utility via Support, and you can open a Support case through MySupport.
