Endpoint Protection

Hi guys,

I would like to know if I can stop ISS services after migration SEP11 to SEP12? Or unistall.

Will have problem with that?

Thx.

SEP 12.1 doesn't use IIS but Apache instead. You should be OK to stop or remove.

Whether or not you can stop IIS after upgrading to 12.1 depends on how your clients are communicating.

The easiest way to check is to look in your Management Server Lists (found in Policies -> Policy Components -> Management Server Lists) and check if your SEP clients are connecting in using a port that IIS is listening on.

If they are, then it means your SEP Clients are going through IIS, which is then rediecting the session to the SEPM's apache component.  This means you'd have to assign a new MSL to the clients to tell them to connect in on the new port of 8014 (so that they bypass IIS and talk directly to SEPM's apache webserver).

If the SEP Clients are not using a port assigned to IIS, then you should be free to stop it (assuming you have nothing else using IIS that is).

if you have nothing else in IIS, you can stop it or even uninstall it 

Hi,

SEP 12.1 has replaced IIS with Apache, dependency is removed from IIS.

Symantec Website is configured to use 8014 port on IIS?

If 8014 is used in that case migration will be flawless. If default port 80 is used then need some extra steps to perform.

Check is there any dependency on IIS? Is there any custom company websites?

Hi,

The clients are using 8014 port.

There is no other website on ISS.

If IIS is not in use, than there is no longer a need for it.

If SEPM is on or above SEP 11 RU4 version then can go ahead & uninstall IIS.

Before uninstalling IIS, make sure all the clients are communicating with the new SEPM successfully.
