Endpoint Protection

Hi, We will about to acquire new company and they are using different AV.

Question: How can i manage their client if I want to migrate to Symantec?

- Is it good to deploy new SEPM dedicated for their company?

- what is the license count need to consider?

-setup and network setup need to consider?'

If you deploy a new SEPM then that just adds another console you need to manage. How many clients do they have? SEPM has a third party uninstaller which can remove many different vendors. Find out what they're running first.

The license count depends on the number of clients they have so only you know that. Obviously, you'll want to use GUPs for content distribution. You'll need to know what their bandwidth link is though.

They have 1000+ clients

AV is McAfee.

Basically they have different domain, network and FW in place. so running SEPM on our premise would be difficult?

Can I use my SEPM installer and build server on their domain? Then buy new client license?

If you're connected to a SQL DB then it can handle up to 50k clients. As long as clients can talk back to SEPM by opening any needed firewall ports then it really shouldn't be a problem. Being on a different domain doesn't matter to SEP/SEPM communication:

Yea, you can use the same installer to install the same version. The installer is universal so that's fine. You need to make sure you have the correct amount of licenses before adding clients so you're not over-deployed.

alright thank you so much brian

You're welcome.
