Endpoint Protection

In Sep 12.1 there is a feature while creating an install package.

When should i put a tick mark besides this feature. what will happen if i uncheck this.

pls assist

To create the new custom install package

1. In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console, on the Admin tab, under Tasks, click Install Packages.
   The current default client installation packages appear on the right.
2. Under  Install Packages, click Client Install Packages.
3. Under Tasks, click Export Client Install Package.
4. Browse to or create a preferred export folder, and select it.
5. Select whether or not you want to create a single .EXE file. Unchecking single .EXE will export mutiple files, including an *.MSI installer file.
6. Under "Pick the customized installation settings below", from the drop down menu, select your custom Client Install Setting.
7. Under "Select the features you want to use" (AV only for you), from the drop down menu, select your custom Client Install Feature Set.
8. Choose "Export a managed client", then select the group to which the client will be installed. If no group has been created, select the Default Group. It is recommended to leave "Add clients automatically to the selected group" checked.
9. Select the Preferred Policy Mode. The default is Computer mode.
10. Click OK.

Depends on what features you want to utilise. Is this a workstation or server?

If you remove the check, that feature will not be installed.

Hello,

When you check the box for "Create a single .EXE for this package", it would creates a single installation executable file.

When you uncheck the box for "Create a single .EXE for this package", it would create an unzipped package with .msi package setup.

Single executables are not supported with an Active Directory group policy installation or auto-upgrade by using the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

Symantec Antivirus.msi Package is very useful in many issues where Customers often face issues like "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed"

Hope that helps!!
