We have 4 - 5 different schedules of weekly scans for workstations at various departments.

Do we need to recreate those schedules when we upgrade to Endpoint v 12.1 from Endpoint v11.0.6?

 

Thanks in advance,

no need, the policies are

no need, the policies are applied to group. If the client ( after upgrade) is part of that group, it will have same policy.

Hi,

When you do upgrade from SEP11.x to SEP 12.1, it will upgrade only schema & server settings.

All existing settings, policies & structure will remain same.

You can check following thread to know upgrade process.

I hope it will help you !!!
