In order install Symantec Endpoint Protection on a Mac client, we need to export the client installation package from the SEPM and then deploy the package manually. Following the article to create the package for Mac https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-create-package-mac-client-sepm-ru6 We can use the following methods to deploy the Package on the Mac computers: 1.SMB://SEPM/shared 2.Altiris Sepic Component 3.Apple Remote Desktop 4.From Terminal application on the Mac We can also install Symantec Endpoint Protection silently on Mac clients by running the following command from the Terminal application on the Mac: /usr/sbin/installer -pkg pathToPackage -target MountPoint where pathToPackage is the location of the install package, MountPoint is the location to place the package on the client computer. You must be logged in as root to run the silent install. Otherwise, you can append sudo to the beginning of the silent install command.
I found the solution here http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH123690
And just added : chmod -R 777 $HOME/Symantec\ Endpoint\ Protection.mpkg/
to my script
I'm running in to a slight problem while running installer from the terminal.
"Error - An error occured while running the InstallationCheck tool for "Symantec Endpoint Protection". Try running the tool again."
My script looks like this:
if [[ $UID != 0 ]]; then
echo "Running as Sudo:"
echo "sudo $0 $*"
unzip /opt/altiris/notification/nsagent/var/packages/{358340B7-3BE5-41C3-9131-1603A8D88EF5}/mac/SymantecEndpointProtection.zip
sudo installer -pkg $HOME/Symantec\ Endpoint\ Protection.mpkg/ -target $HOME
exit 1
fi
Any suggestions?
Sorry for jumping into this thread so late.
Just wanted to check to see if uninstall of SAV 10.x is necessary before we deploy SEP 11.0.xx?
Thanks, Don
