Endpoint Protection

What I've heard it that it doesn't and Symantec gives SAV for linux in SEP 12.1 DVD for linux machines.

I want to ask whether we can manage the clients installed on linux machines (ie pushing policies and updates from server) from SEP Manager, and how does licensing works as SAV is a different product than SEP.

Please also let me know if Mac machines are manageable from SEP console, like policies and updates.

Thanks

Hey, Thanks for the link, its really helpfull, I also wanted to know about linux machines, how to implement, update and appy the license.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks

...but Mac clients can be maanaged by the SEPM.  Note that while they can be managed, they do not obtain updates from teh SEPM.

Here's a handy FAQ on Mac and SEP:

#EDIT#

As far as the below articles go, they seem to group SAV for Linux under the SEP Product heading.  In which case your Linux seats should be covered (license-wise) by the SEP licenses.

This should be in the SEP Media anyway under SAVLINUX\docs, but here you go

I couldn't find much helpful information about the licensing for linux clients in the docs

I would like to share SAV PDF files which you would find under downloaded files.

...I think the licensing reverts to the old trust basis, where there's no checking involved.  You just need to make sure you're covered.

Best speak to a Symantec employee for confirmation though

Hi Mahendra,

Here is a helpful forum link:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-121-linux

Machines running SAV for Linux will not count against the SEP 12.1 licensed seats.

And I can confirm: SEP for Mac can be managed directly from the SEPM with policies, logs, etc.  It must download its updates from the Internet  LiveUpdate servers, though, or from an in-house LUA 2.x server.

Hope this helps!  Please do update this thread if there is anything more you need.

Hi Mahendra

I have used the samepdf installation guide to implement Symantec in my Network. It went smooth.

You can update the linux clients by configuring Liveupdate Administrator
