RU6 MP3
Updated: 30 Mar 2011 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Can a RU6 MP2 SEPM manage RU6 MP3 clients? We have a few clients that are experiencing issues (such as file copy between Win7/Win2k8) that are supposed to be resolved in MP3, and I would like to upgrade those to the latest version but I'm not ready to upgrade the SEPMs. Any idea what the ramifications would be?

yes it can.
Yes it can. Ideally, you would have your SEPM at MP3 as well, but it can manage small amounts of MP3 clients if it is still at MP2 with little or no noticeable issues.
You'll want to add the MP3 installs to the MP2 SEPM and create an exported package so these MP3 clients will check in. Or just upgrade by adding MP3 install to a group.
Here are instructions:

MP2 SEPM can manage MP3
MP2 SEPM can manage MP3 clients. However since this is a new version there might be a possibility of some new issues..So would suggest you manage MP3 clients from MP2 SEPM only for temporary workaround.

I agree with Vikram. Managing
I agree with Vikram. Managing newer version of SEP clients with MP2 SEPM could introduce some issues. There are minute changes here and there in new versions. They may not be significant to a naked eye. But while running reports, if the new version has some additional fields, then that might be an issue in reporting.

Does Symantec Endpoint
Does Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager function with different versions of SEP client?

It is recommended that the same version be used in all situations, however, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager is backwards compatible with older versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection client.
