  • 1.  Virtualize Endpoint Protection Server - Can it be done, is it supported?

    I've done a little searching on this already, not turned up anything definitive.

    1.  Can it be done?

    2.  Is is supported by Symantec.

    Need to explore this for a small biz with 1 old server.  EPS is too much of a resource hog.  Want to put it in a VM on another system with more memory, resources, and virtualize, so it can be throttled to consume fewer resources.    System requirements indicate that this can be run in XP, Vista, ect. - that would be better than running it in another virtualized server OS.

    You can install SEP on Vmware. See this thread for more detail.
