Endpoint Protection

Want to make sure I have working passwords prior to upgrading SEPM form 12.1.3.to 12.1.4 running MSSQL. I have the local SEPM 'admin' password but not sure about MSSQL and want to test first; if that makes sence.

Which ones are needed? 

Thank you!

There is no password needed for the upgrade. You simply run the setup.exe and run thru the steps.

You can than login to the SEPM after upgrade using the credentials you previously used to login

You don't need to MSSQL password when you upgrading your SEPM.

Hi,

The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager supports two modes of SQL Server database authentication:

• Windows Authentication mode

• Mixed mode

Microsoft SQL Server can be configured to use either Windows Authentication or Mixed mode authentication. Mixed mode authentication allows the use of either Windows or SQL Server credentials. When SQL Server is configured to use Mixed mode, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager may be set to use either Windows Authentication or Mixed mode authentication. When SQL Server is set to use Windows Authentication mode, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager must also be configured to use Windows Authentication mode.

You need to find out which mode you are implemented.

Agree with Brian. No need the password forupgrade the SEPM.

Hi

There is no password required during upgradation, but its always a best practice to have all the passwords and to check the MSSQL password login to SQL Managment Studio and there select SQL Authentication and type the username and password.  If you do not remember the database password you can reset if you have the sa password for SQL

Let me know if this helps you
