    Hi,

    Linux machine's can be managed by SEPM with the latest version?

    If not is there anything in the pipeline?

    We have more than 200 linux machines and want them to be manged by centrally managed console.

    It can forward the logs to SEPM and you can see those logs but cannot be managed as of now

    SAV for Linux cannot be managed by SEPM, however, you can send logs to the SEPM for SAV for Linux

    Hello,

    Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11/12 does not support Linux environment. There is no SEP for Linux. There is SAV for Linux (SAVFL) which is included on the SEP disk download.

    The SAVFL client cannot be managed by the SEPM, although it can report logs back to the SEPM by using SAV Reporter, which was released after SAVFL 1.0.10, but can be downloaded from the following KB article.

    Hi,

    You can expect this feature in upcoming releases. 

    However I can't confirm anything at this point.
