  • 1.  SEP disk space MR4

    Posted Sep 28, 2009 01:36 PM
    SEP client takes a huge amount of disk space so i want that all my clients should get installed on some other drive.
    I have installed SEP on D:/ Drive manually on few computers but see that it still install few things on C

    Is it possible to push sep client directly on D drive from Symantec Endpoint Manager console ?

    Thank you for your suggestions

     Check the article below on how to install it on D or any other drive.Also I would suggest you to upgrade to MR5.
    SEP installs few components on all user and common files directory and they cannot be changed.

    Even following the instructions of the 3 posts above mine there will be certain files that are always installed on the OS (C:\) drive. 

    These files include virus definitions and LiveUpdate and generally use ~200mb of disk space.

    yes , Liveupdate  goes to the C Drive by default , this is by design .

     The definitions are downloaded to doc & settings\all user \app data\symantec\liveupdate\downloads
    that takes some space and the virus defs is also located on C drive that is on program files\common files\symantec shared\virusdefs and they cannot be changed.
