Endpoint Protection

I install symantec endpoint protection manager in a machine but i want to use a new machine that will be the new manager.

how will i collect all the data that i have installed in clients... i have deployed 37 clients....




thanks,
Marvin

Install an additional site (additional SEP 11 manager) in your network and configure as replication partner the first manager. After you configure this, durring the installation of your second manager, a replication will occur. As soon as replication finish, apply to your clients new Management Server List (a new MSL will be created automatically with your second installation and you should use it), so they will know that a new server exists and they should use it as primary management server. After you done this, you can uninstall your first instance of SEP manager.

how will i add a site in my network?

I will just install a SEP 11manger and it will automatically be a replication?



thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

There are two answers::::

#1 Replication::

When installing manager on a new machine we will have an option to add new manager!! the process is called replication!!

Try following these steps to add a replication partner!!

#2 Database BackUp: (THE COMPLICATED WAY)

Take a backup of the database and then install SEPM on the new machine exporting the database which you backed up. Later go to each group on the new manager and export the communication setting (Sylink.xml)

Try Documents below!

Hi Marvin,

All of the above is true if you are using embedded database for SEPM. Chances are very less that you would be using SQL database for 37 clients but if you are, then the option is very simple.

You just need to install the SEPM on the new machine with the option "Install an additional SEPM to the existing site" and point it to your existing SQL database. The following link explains about how to go about going this.

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305181.htm

With this all the client information and policies would be intact as you are using the same database for your new SEPM. After this the first SEPM can be uninstalled.

Thanks.

I believe Creating an additional site to replicate the existing Server is the most appropriate setup to follow with regards to your concern, I also tried that solution fortunately it works. hope your concern resolve from this thread

Hello Marvin,

Just wondering if your issue is resolved or you need any more assistance.

Thanks :-)
