  • 1.  Symantec Antivirus 10.2 for MACs

    Posted Sep 23, 2009 12:09 PM
    My company recently switched from McAfee to SEP.  The setup on the Windows side went off without any major issues, however we have a couple concerns on the SAV 10.2 for MAC client.

    We have installed and Administrative server for our MACs on a MAC OS10 Server and installed the client package on all our MAC clients.  However they are not updating automatically.  I understand that you can setup automated updating on the client through the Symantec Scheduler, however we would like to configure these options on the Administrative server instead.

    At this point I cannot find any options to do so on the Administrative server.  Is this possible? Or do we need to just create the schedule on all our clients?

    I have the same question about scheduled scans.

    Filing this under Endpoint Protection because I do not see a forum specifically for the MAC software

     SAV for MAC cannot be administred from SEPM ( SEP Manager ) or SSC 10.x
    Its better to configure SYmantec LIveupdate Scheduler for MAC clients.

    The managed Mac environment is a little different from the Windows managed environment.  Clients do not install with a default schedule for either updating or scanning.  They will also update by contacting Symantec LiveUpdate servers.

    This document outlines the process for setting up a managed environment, from setting up an internal LU server on your Mac server, to scheduling scans and Live Update, to setting up preferences on clients.

    I hope this helps.

    ps. Yes, there is no Mac-specific forum.  You are in the right place. :)

    From this point forward, I'll be updating the following post, rather than chasing down the 4-5 threads and updating them individually.  Thanks!
