SEPM (SEP14) is fully compatible whit Azure Plattform?

    Good morning,

    Is it possible to install and manage SEP Manager from an Azure server?

    I have read that it is possible, but according to this Symantec article https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/sep-14-microsoft-azure-compatibility , in its final conclusions it is said:

    “Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager is not fully supported with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform due to SQL Azure not supporting the installation of the SEPM database. This is easily worked around by creating another virtual server in Azure and installing your own version of SQL, however this method is unfortunately inconvenient and you no longer get to utilise the real benefits from using Microsoft Azure.”

    This article is dated on December 2016. Is it possible that with the new versions of SEP14 this issue is solved and SEP Manager is fully compatible with Azure?

    Regards

    In Azure , you can get a virtual server where SQL is pre-installed.

    if you have Virtual server you can install SQL manually and later get SEPM installed without any issues.
