upgrade SEP (Clinet) to MR6 MP1 from MR4
Updated: 03 Oct 2010 | 6 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
My manager is RU6a. I have several clients with MR4.
When i tried to upgrade to RU6a over MR4 the SEP Client fails to update and run properly.
When i upgrade directly from MR4 to RU6a MP1 SEP Client work perfect.
But i saw that Symantec do not recommend upgrading from MR4 / 5 directly to RU6a MP1. (on Manager)
it this applies to SEP Client too?
Thanks. Nir.

Yes , even to clients
Yes , even to clients. It is not recommend to upgrade directly from RU5 or MR4 to RU6MP1
This maintenance patch cannot be installed over any versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection or Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager prior to RU6. It must be installed over RU6 or RU6a.

RU6MP1 is a mention patch and not a maintenance release, A MP can only be installed on the main build. You can install RU6 over RTM or MR3 or MR4MP2 but not RU6MP1. For that you need to have RU6
This migration path is not supported.
Possible effects after a direct upgrade to RU6MP1 from a lower version [except RU6]:
Schema Corruption.
Possible dll corruption.
Policies Corruption.
Network breakdown.
Challenges with uninstalling SEP.
So what you need Upgrade the clients to RU6 and then upgrade to RU6MP1.
