Endpoint Protection

Hello There

My company may be moving to Symantec Endpoint Protection when our AV product come up for renewal. In preparaation for this I decided to download the trial version and have a look at it. It works fine with XP and Vista.

However on Windows 7 I get lots of messages aabout unsigned drivers aand it makes the computer ver sluggish.

Bearing in mind Windows 7 is almost a live operating system - when will Symantec Endpoint Protection support this product fully.

Many thanks


Pat

Are you using RU5 (11.0.5xxx.xx) if no download and try. Windows 7 is fully supported in this version

That would answer my question the trail downnload is 11.0.4

In 11.0.4 Windows 7 is not fully supported(officially).It is better to try with RU5(MR5). 

Thank you just had a look and RU5 is there as a trial download now

Hi Patrick (and other interested parties),

In case you are wondering about the version of SEP that is specifically designed for Small Business, SEP 12, I am pleased to inform you that both both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 will be supported in the product's next release.  RU1 for SEP 12 is expected to be available in approximately one month.

Thanks an best regards,

Mick
