upgrading (updating?) from SEP 11.0.2 to 11.0.6 MP3
Updated: 28 Sep 2011 | 9 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Currently running 11.0.2 management server, downloaded the 11.0.6 MP3 release. How simple is to upgrade? Any improvements to make it worthwhile? Do clients update automatically or will I need to manually push?

You will need to first
You will need to first upgrade to RU6 (11.0.6005) before going to RU6MP3 (11.0.6300). You can find the download in fileconnect as well. There have been several improvements since MR2 that will make it worthwhile. You will need to assign packages to the client groups to upgrade them. All of this can be found in:

The latest version for SEP
The latest version for SEP 11.0 is SEP 12.1...
not true
the newest version of SEP 11 is SEP 11.0.6. MP3 and soon it will be 11.0.7 (July)
SEP 12.1 is a new lineup product so it has only the name from SEP and can be migrated but its a new lineup Product like SAV was before.

Now, Since you are carrying Older version 11.0.5002
We recommend you to upgrade the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and all clients to Latest version.
You can download the latest software from Fileconnect.

Where to go?
If you are going to go through the trouble of upgrading your system (And you really should, MR2 is pretty old and there are so many fixes and improvements in the later versions), I would suggest going straight to SEP 12.1.
The upgrade methodology is the same as going to RU6.
Basic steps is:
1) Upgrade the SEPM Server.
To do this, run the SEPM 12.1 installer on the SEPM 11 MR2 box. It will automatically detect SEPM 11 MR2 and upgrade it.
2) Upgrade our clients
Some of the previous posts gave some information about upgrading clients -- so I won't go over this in detail, but your basic options are
Whether you go from SEPM 11 RU6, or SEPM 12, the upgrade technique is the same.
I would greatly recommend going straight to SEPM 12. It's about the same amount of work, but the protection technology in SEP 12 is much better than the SEP 11 line. If you are going to go through the trouble of upgrading, I recommend going straight to SEP 12.
There are a lot of benefits to upgrading, no name a few:
