Prepare computers for remote deployment and management

Modify firewall settings to allow communication between Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition components:
■ Push deployment ports, used on management servers and clients: TCP 139 and 445, UDP 137 and 138, and TCP ephemeral ports.
■ For legacy communications, open UDP port 2967 on all computers.
■ General communication: TCP 8014 (HTTP)/TCP 443 (HTTPS) for management servers. These are the default ports, and may be customized. See Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1: How to Change the ports used for communication between the Manager and clients.

Prepare Windows XP computers that are installed in workgroups: Windows XP computers that are installed in workgroups do not accept remote deployment. To permit remote deployment, disable Simple File Sharing. Note: This limitation does not apply to computers that are part of a Windows domain. Detailed instructions are provided in the following document: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102867
