  • 1.  SEPM Installation Packages - Only English Defs?

    Posted Mar 25, 2013 03:19 PM

    Hi,

    We have a SEPM server installed on an English operating system. I have created 32bit and 64bit installation packages for our clients. I'm now setting up LiveUpdate Administrator and would like to confirm that I should be downloading all languages, not just English.

    I ask because I'm not sure if the client packages I created from the SEPM, can be used on non-English operating systems. If yes, then I guess I would need all possible languages; especially in our devlopment environment where non-English operating systems do exist.

    Just looking for confirmation on the above.

    Thanks, Steve.

    Hello,

    English packages can be installed on English and non-english OS without issues.

    Secondly, In LUA only English can be selected. Check this Article:

    So only English can be selected because the client packages were created in SEPM on an English OS?Can the client packages that I created be installed on a non-English OS?

    English packages can be installed on non-english OS without issues - the SEP client GUI will be simply in English and not in the language of the OS. Definitions will cover these clients without any problems as well - the language of the OS does not play here any meaning for the definitions.
