  • 1.  Can I add newer client packages to older SEPM version.

    Posted Aug 01, 2017 09:07 AM

    Hi, At the moment I am static on version 12.1.6 (12.1 RU6 MP5) build 7004 (12.1.7004.6500) and we will not be updating it any more as far as i am aware. We are moving to SEP14 in the next 3 to 4 months. But in the mean time I have some Wintel engineers that are using/testing Server 2016. The current client install malfuctions on these servers. Therefore can I add 12.1.6 MP8 clients to my current SEPM and still create packages with them and not break my SEPM?

    Thanks

    Yes, you can:

    Just be aware that some features may exist in newer versions that the older SEPM may not have (policy settings mostly) so they would be ignored.

    You want to add a newer version of a client installation package to an older version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, without upgrading to the new version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
