Symantec Management Platform (Notification Server)

I am attempting to find out where to install the Management Platform. Is it installed on the Small Business Server 2008 box or on a seperate Win 7 box?

which is v7.0 SP5, MUST be installed on Windows 2003 (x32 bit). The upcoming release of 7.1 will have to be installed on Windows 2008 R2 (x64 bit). Currently, it is a best practice to have SQL on one box (on a 64bit platform, SQL 2005 x64, if possible) and the management platform on another.

Many things are going to change with the release of 7.1 from an architecture perspective. I do not think it was ever supported to run on SBS edition, standard\enterprise is preferred.

See the platform support matrix for further information.

I have purchased Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition ver 12.0. When I downloaded the software Management ver 7 was included in this purchase. I talked to sales prior to this purchase and was told that it was supported under Small Business Server 2008. Is there any place or site I might verify this?

I have highlighted above or to the right for the platform support matrix. Software management v7 requires the Symantec Management Platform (Notification Server) which in version 7.0.x will only install on Windows 2003, 32bit.

Thanks for the information. I have just purchased a new HP ML110 G6 server that I will use for my Symantec Endpoint Server.

I am positive that this will solve my problem. Thank you for all the information.
