Deploying a new client in SEP 12.1
When Deploying a new client in SEP 12.1 from the Home Tab/Common Task/Install protection client to computers. You have two options, first option is “New Package Deployment” and the Second option is “Existing Package Deployment”. I’m selecting the 2nd option of an Existing package that I’ve already created. I browse out to my installation package select it and hit next. It then goes to an “Uploading Existing Package “screen that takes a few minutes to do something before dropping me off at the Computer Selection screen.
My question is, what is it actually doing during the Uploading the Existing Package” screen. If you hit the “Back” option on the next page after it populates. You have to wait for whatever process it’s going through to go through again.

Pete, thanks for the
Pete, thanks for the responce, but it still doen't make since to me. I am telling the system to use a specific SEP package, located in a specific path on my SEPM. After giving this information the SEPM says "Uploading". Why would it take several minutes for the system locate a package when I've told it exactly where it is?
The reason I ask this question is because, this has always been my preferred method to push small numbers of clients to our users (1 - 3). This process in previous verisons took less then a minute to deploy a client. Now, the process can take well over 5 minutes to depoly. If I'm not mistaking all this is doing is taking a prebuilt SEP package, copying it to the target system, and kicking off the installation. So, why all the extra steps to slow this process down?
im just thinking deeper the
im just thinking deeper the path , more time it might be taking. Is thare anything you see on the tomcat logs (scm-serevr-0.log?)
