Hello,

I have SEP 12.1 but my Database is version 11.0.1.2472. I was wondering if this could be causing any issues with db storage.

SEP 12.1 clients cannot be managed by SEPM 11.x.

You will need to upgrade the SEPM to 12.1 if you want to manage 12.1 clients.

Can an 11.x SEPM manage 12.x SEP clients?

Managing Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU2 clients with earlier version managers

SEP 12.1 RU2 Windows clients can be managed by any SEPM of version 12.1 or higher. SEP 12.1 RU2 Windows clients cannot be managed by SEPM 11.x.

Hello,

If i am right you are saying that you have a client with 12.1 and sepm manager is in 11.0 and you want to manage the client from the old version server. it is not possible. you need to upgrade the sepm version.

The Version on the Sep Manager is 12.1 but when I look at the information abou the db it says it is 11.0.1.2472.

Hi,

Could you please share the screenshot with us where exactly you are comparing the version.

I hope after an upgrade you would have rebooted the server.

Try to execute upgrade.bat from the following location as well.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\bin

Hello,

Symantec uses a Sybase product for its embedded database. This product (SQL Anywhere) has in your  case the Sybase version number 11.0.1. This has nothing to do with the SEP version number or the database schema version number for SEPM.

Have a look here: http://www.sybase.de/detail?id=1002288

With SQL Server, it's the same: SQL Server 10 is the version number of SQL Server 2008. See here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server

In the Windows Task Manager, you can see the database process as dbsrv12.exe. In SEP 11, it was dbsrv9.exe because Symantec used Sybase SQL Anywhere v9 at that time.
