Endpoint Protection

Greetings,

Currently using 11.0.4 in a server 2003 environment.  Getting ready to retire that server and use a 2008 server R2 to house SEP 11.

WHen we install the product it seems to get through most of the process and then it rolls itself back.  THought before I waste a bunch of time trying to make this work, I better check to see if it might be a simple matter of "you can't get there from here" e.g. not compatible.  Please advise

Thanks

It's not officially supported but it should install though. These should answer you're question. 11.0.5 is the first officially supported version:

Support for Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Server 2008 R2

Support for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.4 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2

When upgrading the OS its adviced to uninstall the existing SEP and install a new SEP after OS upgrade is done. 11.4 is very old and the latest is 12.1.3(supports 2012 as well)

Since you are upgrading the OS. I would suggest to go with 12.1.3

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community,

SEP RU5 and later is supported under Server 2008 R2.

However it's receommended to Upgrade to the latest available release of SEP to enjooy many other enhancements and improvements.

SEP 11 RU7 MP3 is the latest version of SEP.

The best favor you can do for yourself is to upgrade from SEP 11 to the latest SEP 12.1 RU3 (12.1.3001)

You can upgrade to 12.1 if you have a valid support contract.

Hello,

You are running an old version of SEP 11.0.4000 which was released in Dec 2008.

Check this Article:

I would request you to please Migrate the SEPM to the version of SEP 11.0.7000 and later to the Latest version of SEP 11.0.7300.

OR

Migrate the SEPM to the Latest version of SEP 12.1.

Hope that helps!!

Just agreeing with what is above- upgrade to the latest available SEP 11 or SEP 12.1 release!  There are many known defects and security vulnerabilities in the old SEP 11 MR4.  Always be sure to use the latest release.

HI,

You are running on an old SEP version it is recommended to the newer versions( SEP 12.1.3).
