    What is the difference between Physical Computers & registered Computers ?

    Why there is a huge  difference between them.

    In my scenario

    Physical computers :- 150
    Registered Computers :- 125

    When i export the computer status report i see 150 Computers.

    Explain me ???

    Hi,

           These values have to do with the Preferred Policy Mode that was selected when creating a client install package.

    Number of Physical Computers - This value represents the number of physical computers that have the SEP client installed and that, at some point, have checked-in with the SEP Manager
    Number of Registered Users - This value represents the number of users that have logged on to a machine with a SEP client installed

    For instance, if Number of Physical Computers says 1000, then that many physical machines have, at some point, checked in with the SEP Manager. Number of Registered Users, under normal circumstances, should be the same value as Number of Physical Computers. There are some instances, however, where Number of Registered Users is different from Number of Physical Computers..

    As an example, let's say that there are 50 workstations with the SEP client installed, but there are 150 users, each with their own unique login credentials. Since the 50 computers are going to be shared among the 150 users, the value for Number of Registered Users will be higher than the value for Number of Physical Computers.

    Note: These numbers should only be used as an estimate and may not reflect the total number of SEP clients in a given environment.

    in that case, seems like you have 150 machines with SEP installed
    and on 125 users have logged in and it has checked with SEPM.

    good info

    Title: 'About "Number of Physical Computers" and "Number of Registered Users"'
    Document ID: 2009012310430248
    > Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/docid/2009012310430248?Open&seg=ent


    These values are based on a GUID that is issued when a machine or user checks in with the SEP Manager.
