Endpoint Protection

I Need to migrate from SAV to SEPM 11.x. What is the best method to follow. There 100 plus machines which are in network and workgroup.

Help Appreciated.

Hey Steve,
   You might want to try the suggestions in this post:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/uninstall-sep-11-without-password

That should allow you to uninstall the client and avoid the password prompt.     How are you installing the client machines? from the SEP Manager? or a separate install file?

I am in the process of installing End Point Protection on a system comprising a management console and 8 clients.  The management tool installed OK and after some head-scratching, the first Client install (using the the Installation Wizard running on the server) went smoothly and seems to be OK. 

The second Client install is a different matter,  The first thing I noticed is that there was no 'demand' to reboot the client after the installation had completed.  Second, the second client did not appear in the list of configured clients in the server management application.

My initial thought was to remove the client package and try again but I need a password to allow the removal to complete.  I have NO IDEA what the password is and I can t see any hint as to what it is in any of  the literature. 

The whole installation process has stopped because I do not want the same problem replicated to other machines...

Some guidance would be appreciated!

Regards

Steve

Hi Paul.  Yes, this can be run at startup or manually at any point.    You will be able to see a Windows Application Event Log - ID 11724 when the uninstall completes successfully.  

You'll want to make sure that you don't have "Require password for client uninstall" enabled on the NAV Corp Server, otherwise, you'll be prompted for the password when you run this script.

You can also use Cleanwipe Utility

This should be run on startup right? Are there any logs that we can see the status of the uninstallation?
