Endpoint Protection

Hi all,

I am currently testing Symantec Endpoint Protection, and so far I have just been deploying to machines using the "Find Unmanaged Computers" option. I search for the computer name that I wish to deploy to and then deploy to that computer specifially.

As I do this I realize it will take a very long time to deploy using this method. Is there a way to deploy using active directory, while not using the Manager Console?

Is there a better way at all to deploy to multiple computers at the same time?

You can use the migration and deployment wizard by following this artical

Or elase you can follow this document for Pusing through active directory.

Hope this helps:)

Brent, we've found GPO SEP installs to be very efficient and reliable. This series of Articles supplements Symantec's documentation of GPO installs--

The diffrent ways in Which you can Install SEP  on Multiple computers without uisng the Unmanged option are as follows:

1. You can use altris
2. Microsoft SMS
3 . AD GPO
4. GPO software distrbution
5. Login Script
6. SEPM Migration and Deployment wiazrd

You can find more information about these In the Installtion Guide in CD1/ Doumentation folder. page 87 onwards

 

 

You could use the migration and deployment wizard, for sure you have an inventory of your workstation in your office then if you have this write down all the hostname of your pcs to notepad, it should be one hostname or ip per line then you can push install from the server at the same time

You need to decide what options to use while deploying the clients. 
Like If you try to install SEP using Altiris, then you need to first deploy Altiris agent and then SEP.
