  • 1.  SEP Licenses for Clients & Servers

    Posted Feb 13, 2014 12:47 AM

    Hi all,

     

    One of my clients is running 1000 client machines and 10 servers;

    He wants to use Symantec Endpoint protection for both his servers and clients for anti-virus;

    In this case, i have advised him to go for 1010 (1000+10) Symantec Endpoint protection licenses;

    He is asking if there is a Symantec Endpoint protection manager or central kit to manage and deploy the anti-virus pack across all clients and servers;

    If there is an option availaible, please advise, and if we can go for a better solution, please do share;

    Looking forward to your reply;

    You are right you need go get 1010 licenses

    This is a managed enterprise solution, You will have a centralized console called symantec endpoint protection manager, from this you can manage all the clients from one single place. No license is needed for SEPM

    Have you checked these steps as well:

    Preparing Windows operating systems for remote deployment

    To push the client software to computers, you should use a domain administrator account if the client computer is part of an Active Directory domain. Remote deployment also requires administrator privileges to install.

    Perform the following tasks:

    • Disable the Sharing Wizard.

    • Enable network discovery by using the Network and Sharing Center.

    • Enable the built-in administrator account and assign a password to the account.

    • Verify that the account has administrator privileges.
