Endpoint Protection

Hi All wondered if you could help!

I have spent some time searching but couldnt find any posts/issues similar to my own.

We have two VM servers that run SEPM connecting to a 2005 sql db server for the SEP db. providing dual / fail over service to over 3k sep cleints.

We need to shut down server 1 and create it a new VM server image and reload sepm back onto it and point it back to db

we initially had a slight issue with the servers running at 100% cpu when we set up server 2 for fail over but that was resolved with symantec help.

What i would like is help with is the best way to rebuild our frist server.

I'm under the impression that it goes this way...

• Stop services on 1st server and shut it down.
• on 2nd server go into SEPM console and remove 1st server from server management list.
• Rebuild Vm (new OS) and then reload
• ensure both servers can talk to db and that clients can still communicate to sepm.

Am i missing something or do i need to stop services on both servers when i shut 1st one down?

You help / advice on this matter would be great thanks!

You are correct !

You want to move the first server ,
so stop the first server
remove the first server from the management server list
Install SEPM on New OS
Point it to the DB
