Endpoint Protection

Thank you very much for the immediate response.
Walking around to every client isn’t a problem. Two boxes (3 machines) are on or next to my desk. The other 2 are about 15’ away.
I suppose the comment in the article “SEP whitelists baseline VM images and shares…” doesn’t apply because my machines are unmanaged; the SEP installations presumably don’t know about each other. On the other hand, with only 1 VM and scans scheduled at night, I also suppose that doesn’t matter. Similarly, I imagine that randomizing scanning isn't significant in my environment. Are those thoughts right?
Thank you for the suggestion to use active scan instead of full scans.
Should the VM be running when scanned? I had planned to shut it down at night, but don't have to.
I don’t know what a “base image” is and therefore don’t understand section 5.
Actually, when I wrote my comment I had used your links incorrectly; upon reviewing the page I can see why you said the instructions apply to small environments as well as large ones, and I agree with you. My comment about large vs small networks really concern the link in Mithun Sanghavi post 6/26/12. Since I now see that you did in fact write the article I was requesting, I'll just ignore Mr. Sanghavi's links as inapplicable to me. Sorry.

Any machine with SEP installed will count against the license count, VMs included.

If you install as unmanaged than you cannot control the clients from the SEPM. Unless you walk around to every client and check individually than you basically have no central control over your clients. You will also need to configure each one if they're not managed.

The article can still apply to small networks as well. What part of the configuration do you need help with?

This white paper and the ones it links to are written for users with a large number of computers. However, I have a small network -- 4 boxes, 1 of which runs a virtual machine plus its host OS. My questions are basic. Do I need a separate license for the virtual machine? Is there is a reason I shouldn't install EndPoint in unmanaged mode? (I initially configured my installation for managed mode but found that entering setting a few times is easier and faster than learning to use managed mode.) Are any of your suggestions for efficiency applicable and, if so, which ones?

OK, my network is an extreme. Still, can you point me to a white paper with instructions for configuring EndPoint for small networks, even if they're not as small as mine? If not, I think you need such a paper, At least, I know I need one.

Many thanks man for sharing this artcile !
