  • 1.  RU 6a

    Posted Apr 29, 2010 01:25 PM
    I have read the release notes and I don't think I am going to upgrade at this time, I just got RU5 throughout the entire domain, and a lot of 6, does anyone know when RU7 may be released? I would like to wait until that time, so far everything seems to be in working order and I don't see a big difference to push this out. Can anyone please let me know how opten the Releases are updated and why is this "6a" a s opposed to just RU 7?

    Bryan,

    There is no update on the Release of SEP RU7. The latest release is SEP RU6a and which is available on the https://fileconnect.symantec.com/ link.

    Releases are updated on the basis of issues with the current or the old release of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

    Release Update 6a addressed a few critical defects that were discovered shortly after the RU6 release. They are pretty specific fixes, so you may not be affected by them. I suspect many customers that have already moved to RU6 will have few, if any, problems if they don't upgrade to RU6a.

    ...before I decide to send this out, I feel like as soon as I am done pushing this, Ru 7 will come out the following day.

    Thank you.

    If there are problems, upgrade, if not, I will let it go until the next release.

    No update on RU7 as if know and niether we are aware that will have RU7 or not. if there is no issues with RU5 , so there is no need to upgrade to RU6.

    Actualy RU6a is not a major relaese so we don't  have any realse  note, it just fixes 2 issue.

    Fix ID: 2020545
    Deploying or migrating clients when using multi-byte character group names in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Management console

    Symptom: If you create groups with names that use  a double-byte character set, you cannot add new RU6 clients to those groups through any form of installation. New clients are automatically placed into the Default group. 

    Solution:  With RU6, clients were incorrectly parsing DBCS characters resulting in a corrupt group name.  When registering with the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a corrupt group name,  clients are placed into the Default group.  With this fix, client-side changes were made to correctly parse DBCS group names.  

    Fix ID: 2022713
    Removal of periodic CPU spike when using Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Java console

    Symptom:  With RU6, A periodic CPU spike occurs when a user selected the Policies, Clients, or Admin page in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Java-based console.

    Solution: This issue was caused by a periodic refresh of the Home page to prevent a time-out of the PHP session.  The refresh task now refreshes the Reports page, which consumes fewer resources.  In addition, you can now configure the refresh time by setting the scm.keepalivescheduleminute value in the conf.properties file.

    The version number of the new build will be 11.0.6005.562 and will be labelled Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_11.0.6A_Xplat_EN_DVD.zip
