Windows 7 support will be in the next release of SEP 12 SBE. Look for that to come out in mid to late November.

SEP 12 can be installed on Windows 7 , but it is not supported and this point of time.

Windows 7 will be supported when the version of 12 RU1 is released

A version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition that includes support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will be released in the future.

Which versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition will supported on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2?

They have already came up with a RU5 release for SEP 11 which supports Win 7. So i'm positive that in the next release SEP 12 will also support win 7

Yes SEP 12 RU1 will have support for Windows 7

Hi.

I just upgraded my home network to Server 2008 R2 from Server 2003 R2 and at the same time i upgraded my 5 pc/laptops to WIndows 7 Pro 64bit.

All but 1 machine took the SEP SB 12 install perfectly and without issue.  All i had to do was turn off all FIrewalls and reboot first.

One machine though... just would not install.  No way, no how.  I spent literally DAYS hunting and Googling for an answer and yesterday i found this which resolved my issue.  One small registry tweak redirecting the temp folder.  Amazing.... 8 hrs of sheer frustration and confusion as to "why" this was happening... and then all over in 10 seconds plus 1 reboot. :)

So, anyone reading this... i hope it helps not only answer the question that YES you can run SEP on Windows 7 but if you find that an install does a "rollback"... this will fix it (it did in my case).

Good Luck!
