Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition

Hello Expert,

We have a network that consist central head office and 11 branch offices.

At head office we have a 2 SEPM (redundancy) and at each branch office  one SEPM ..

All SEPM has version 12.1.2015 installed.

The primary SEPM at head office is allowed to go out to the Symantec site for updates, these are

replicated   to the respective SEPM at the various branch office.

Note, none of  the  SEPM  located at the branch offices is allowed to get updates from the internet but only from the primary SEPM located at head office.

We are planning to upgraded all SEPMs to version 12.1.5 but   I am unsure how to go about this due to

logistic involve if we attempt to do all the SEPM   simultaneously.

Should we start with the Primary SEPM at head office and then do each branch office or could we start with branch office and upon completion of all branches do the primary SEPM?

Could someone kindly advise?

Regards

Are the branch office SEPMs are they're own? Meaning they don't replicate or failover with the others, correct? If they don't, you can do them any way you want since they're not dependant on anything. Otherwise, if all replicating, they need to be done at the same time. Disable replication, upgrade, re-enable replication.

Hello Brian,

Thanks for the response.

All our branch do replicate with each other and thus as per your suggestion the need to be done at the same time.

I am face with a logistic problem because some of the branch offices are locatied in  areas that bandwidth is an issue,hence I will have use some physical media to transport the upgrade file to the respect locations.

Is there any work around ?

Regards.

You could do the file copy during an overnight period? Or login in remotely at the site and kickoff the file download.

Hello Brian,

Thanks for all the advice.

You're welcome.
