  • 1.  Installing SEP on a 2008 server with the use of GPO

    Posted Jun 01, 2010 05:44 AM
    Hi all I´m having some problems with the installation of SEP on our 2008 servers. I have created a package which only included AV and have deployed this through a GPO. On our 2003 servers there are no problem, but on our 2008 server everything is installed. (which includes the firewall) :-( I can see that there are others discussions about the problem : https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/deploy-clients-group-policy-unable-customise But I can't find a solution there works. I have tried to make a MST file, but still everything is installed. Anyone there have found a solution to this problem?

    Disable UAC/firewall and see if the installation goes smooth.

    Also you can check manually instal ( on one machine) is successful!

    it happened once while installing on windows 2000, the package was only AV however when i ran the setup i did not find the reason.
    on win 2008 install it manually.

    There are no problem with manual installation - this works fine.

    Tnx - But that is a ("&#/()"# workaround. Don't what to use the group push in my AD imported server group.

    It this a accepted bug there will be solved in a future release or is this just the solution - Anyone there know?
