  • 1.  Upgrading SEP client for MAC OS

    Posted Oct 11, 2016 06:02 AM

    Hi,

     

    We upgraded our SEP Infrastructure of 3500+ clients from 12.1.4 to 12.1.6 MP5. First we upgraded SEPM and then SEP clients(Windows). We upgraded clients by assigning upgrade package to different groups in which clients reside. We have some MAC OSX clients left that needs to be upgraded. Can anyone guide what are the options for upgrading MAC OSX SEP clients?

     

     

    Thanks.

    You just need to export the latest Mac package and run it on your Mac clients to get them upgraded.

    Hello,

    Installing the Symantec Endpoint Protection client for Mac covers both managed and unmanaged installations. Push deployment from the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (using the Client Deployment Wizard) is supported as of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.5.

    Do you have MAC OS 12.12 (Sierra)? SEP 12.1.6 MP6 Mac client adds support for macOS 10.12. In that case you will have to upgrade from 12.
