How to import/export policies from one client to another
Updated: 13 Oct 2011 | 4 comments
Hi good ppl.
In Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.
Is there a way to export the policies from one client and take this/those file(s) and import them to another client ?
This would be very helpfull solving 12.1 migration problem.

It's possible.
Hi DKDaniel,
Basically, when double-click on the SEP client logo and you go to the "Help" button then you select "Troubleshoot", you will fall immediately to the Management window and you have a "Export..." button under policy profile.
Then you can export it (.xml file), put in your USB key for exemple and then do "Import" to the client where you want to set the policy you exported.
However and FYI :
Importing policies that were exported from another version of SEP is not supported.
Example: export a policy from a SEP 11.0.7 client will not work if you import this file to a SEP 12.1 client and vice versa
You can have a little more information on the following public KB :

Kind Regards,
