Endpoint Protection

when performing a Remote Push of symantec endpoint to a client machine from SEPM, I notice on the client machine
(windows 7) interactive services detection dialog box pops up saying that a program is being installed, click to view
the progress of the install. However I wish to have the symantec endpoint install go through silently for all users. Any suggestions?

Here's what you could do: In the SEPM go to the Admin tab and then to the Client packages tab and click on Client install feature set and add the features and the kind of installation that you would like to have and then use the same in the package and deploy the same.

There would be various options like Silent, Interactive Install, you could select Silent and the install would take place in the background just as you would want.

I dont thing this is Sepm or remote push issue . Try this in test network by configuring Group policy

to disable Installer popups any and then push Sep package .

Make sure you configure a custom Client Install Settings prior to doing Remote Push that explicitly has the "Select an installation type" in the Install Tab set to "Silent". The default install settings is set to "Show progress bar only".

Admin > Install Packages > Client Install Settings > Tasks > Add Client Install Settings...

Then when doing Remote Push for a new package, you can choose this install setting from the drop down. This may be what Simpson Homer above was suggesting.

Please check first client install settings when you creating the package its silent or what

Create a new client install setting for silent installation and export the client package or deploy with the silent client install settings ...
