Re: SEP Symantec Endpoint Protection

2011-02-11 Thread Stephen Wimberly 
We saw seriously slow installs when we had not removed the previous
antivirus.  We upgraded the servers from SAV 10 to SEP 11 and our
expectation was that the install would upgrade the existing, which it did,
but at a time cost.  It was much faster to uninstall SAV10, restart and then
install SEP 11.

Hope that helps you!

Oh, and we DID NOT turn on the NTP (SEP firewall) on the servers, only the
workstations.

RE: SEP Symantec Endpoint Protection

2011-02-11 Thread Malcolm Reitz 
Without praising or condemning SEP, if you have a large installation, it is
well worth your while to get Symantec support to assist you. There is no
simple answer to your query; SEP is a complex product with a lot of
configuration options and every installation environment is different. Talk
to your Symantec account manager about getting their 3rd-level support
involved. We eventually were forced to do this during our upgrade from SAV
CE to SEP and it would have helped cut our deployment much shorter had we
done this in the beginning.

We are installing SEP on servers. Some are taking a short time, some are
going on for a long time (1, 3, 5 Hours.) I am looking for someone with a
similar situation. It is an upgraded install, its on a phyical box.

For some it installs fast, for others it is very lengthy. For such a huge
company and so many servers we cant have it taking so long.

 

If you have any thoughts shoot them my way. Thanks!

If you can run the install package locally on the servers, not from the SEP
distribution server.

Get Vipre. Seriously.

Failing that, change the installation to "AV and AntiSpyware only" or
whatever the option is. That saved a lot of time the last time I was forced
to use that hideous product.
