    We are thinking of deploying Symantec solutions via GPO for our business and we are curious if there are MSI files for the products noted below:

     

    Norton Internet security

    Norton 360

    Symante End poit protection.

     

    Thank you!

    Mithun,

    The procedure you noted is telling how to create a GPO, I get that. What my question is is there a way to obtain an MSI package installer for Norton 360 and Internet Security to deploy using a GPO. The community link advise me to post my question in the business forum.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I am not sure about the Norton 360 and Internet Security, however for Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, check this Article for creating .msi packages.

    Creating a managed .MSI package in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH165483

    Creating custom client installation packages in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102817

    I would suggest you to edit your question in Norton Community and ask only about Norton 360 and Internet Security smiley

    Hope that helps!!

    Norton is for home use so I don't see why you would use this in the enterprise. But as I said, SEP has an MSI.

    Hello,

    Yes I agree above comments you can create MSI Package in SEPM but other product are Norton releated so you can raised your question in norton community for better solution.

    You can check one of artical for creating SEP MSI package and deploy by GPO
