    Posted Sep 22, 2011 01:23 AM

    Hi all,

    Is it okay that my SEPM has still clients that is running SEP11.x? These clients have Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 2000 server OS.  

    Any ideas on my current situtation?

     

    Thanks,

    Geneviere

    As long as you are using SEP 11 install on the Windows 2000 OS, you are fine.

    We support SEP 11 in Windows 2000.

    Yes, SEPM 11 Ru 7 latest version still supports windows 2000. SEP 12.1 does not support windows 2000

    My SEPM is version 12.1 already, and there are still SEP11.x clients in it because these clients have Windows 2000 XP and Windows 2000 server. Would it be okay? or do i need to upgrade these clients' OS so that i can be able to install SEP 12.1.

    Thanks,

    SEPM 12 can manage SEP 11 clients, however you cannot install SEP 12 client software on Windows 2000 OS.
