All are correct,  In simple terms

SEPM: Symantec endpoint protection manager is a console  from which you can install clients , update policy, update virus definition. All Managed clients report to this SEPM, visible inside the console

Managed client: Any computer which reports to SEPM is managed client.. This client can be managed from SEPM like updates, policy, reports, 

Unamanged:  Any computer which DOES not reports to SEPM is unmanaged client.. you cannot control it from SEPM, 

 

Can anyone tells me which those are MANAGED n UNMANAGED on the hightlighted screenshot attached.

Hi David,

 

You will not be able to see Unmanage client in your symantec console. Only manage client will apear in Symantec console.

If you want to convert unmanage client to manage then replace the sylink file of all unmanaged system. then your all unmanaged client will reflect in Symantec console.

 

Please check this article.

Unmanged SEP client are not available in SEPM console.

 

Manage clients reflect as online on manager. To find unmanage clients, configure the unmanage detector --Edit-- https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-unmanaged-detector-reporting After search it replace the communication setting with manager configuration to manage the clients Restoring client-server communications with Communication Update Package Deployment http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO81109

If they're connected and showing up in your SEPM then they're managed.

If you have unmanaged clients, you just need to replace the sylink file with one from the SEPM.
