Windows Server 2008 & Symantec Antivirus 10.1 infrastructure
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 7 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello,
We have an existing SAV 10.1infrastucture for servers and workstation which works very well.
We now need to add Symantec Client running windows Server 2008 .
Does Symantec Antivirus Server (a Windows Server 2003 , with Symantec Antivirus Server version 10.1.6.6010) can manage client running Windows Server 2008 ?
The Symantec client we install on Windows 2008 is 10.2.4.4000.

Thank you guys for your quick
Thank you guys for your quick answer :)
I try to install from my "\\SAVServername\VPHome" :
In "VPHome" root, there are no installation executable.
I went to "Cli-inst" folder :
the "Win32Vista" folder is empty
and when I ran the setup from the "Win32" folder I get an error message : "This version of Symantec Antivirus does not support Windows Vista platform." and setup failed.
So from my point of view our infrastructure is not ready to have Windows Server 2008 SAV Client.
I will open a ticket to official symantec support to get an evidence (for my management) but I guess we will install a new version of SAV on the server to managed Win2K8 server, like pete 4u2002 suggestion.
From the SAV 10.2 CD. Install
From the SAV 10.2 CD. Install Unmanaged client locally on the server.
Then copy and paste the GRC.dat file and replace the root cert on the server it will start communicating.
you version is 10.2.4 which is higher than 10.2.2 which is obviously supported.

Just the location change for 7.5 in 2k8 n vista will be :
c:\programdata\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5
Instead of :<OS Drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5

Now I can see the name of my parent server (blacked in the picture) and my Win2k8 server's group
The Virus Definition file date is locked but currently wrong. I guess/hope it will be ok tomorrow.

Yes..If your Server is 32 bit
Yes..If your Server is 32 bit then it will automatically update..however if it is 64 bit then you will have to follow this

VMWARE-- SEP 12.1 vs McAfee vs Trend Micro
Our Win2k8 server is a 32 Bit
Our Win2k8 server is a 32 Bit system. I've just checked and our definition file has been updated during the afternoom :
We have to check if every setting is ok, but it's a very good start.
About 64 bits system, we will test it in the following days/weeks. I will let you know.
Thank you very much for all information :)
