Endpoint Protection

We have the Symantec Endpoint 11 server console setup and we have about 10,000 Windows machines in there.   We have about 100 Mac's running unmanged versions of Sysmtec 10 or 11.    Can you manage unmanaged Mac's from within the SEP11 console?  

Yes, with 11 RU6

Hi there,

I strongly recommend making those Macs managed.  Having them report into the SEPM means they can be assigned a consistent policy.  Also: log, reports, alert and notifications can be set up and viewed so that admin will know if there is an outbreak seen on these computers, or if the Mac clients' AV definitions grow very old.

I recommend making sure that all of those Macs are running either the SEP 11 RU7 MP1 or SEP 12.1 RU2 Mac client.  The SEPM cannot manage SAV 10 for Mac clients.

Also: I recommend having those 100 Macs update their definitions from an internal LiveUpdate Administrator server.  This saves 100 duplicate downloads from the Internet every day.
