Currently 32 bit 2003 server.
bcp was there with the SQL client install.

Came with SQL client, didn't install anything else.
Now it's quite interesting that Symantec has you install it one way in the documentation, then later shows those lucky enough to find it on the web and label it "best practices".
Why don't the best practices come with the product instead of letting hundreds of people fail and have days of troubels, then hide it on the web?
Just curious - that document SHOULD be on the install CD, with the product, not hidden away. It's critical to product install in my opinion.
Just wondering.......
(Actually, personally, I believe even the original install documents are SERIOUSLY lacking as they are written from an engineers point of view, and they don't really state that you must do the SQL client install first. I finally figured that out after several failures one day.....)
Looking at that document, two things - it doesn't say anything about copying any files, let alone bcp.exe and further, what does THIS mean?
>>Additionally, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console
WILL NOT accept the drive path to any server / network shared drive where the BCP.EXE utility is present. <<
Huh?
And really, that document pretty much states what I did - simply ran the client install, it did the rest, mostly by default, but it would have been VERY NICE had that been with the original install instructions and not hidden away........
