Endpoint Protection

I am currently running SEPM 12.1.1101 and SEP 12.1.1101, SEP 11.0.6200 clients. (SEP 11.0.6200 for Win 2000 only) My question is if I upgrade SEPM to the latest version will SEP 12.1.1101 and SEP 11.0.6200 client continue to work? Also can I upgrade current SEP 12.1.4 machines by installing SEP 12.1.4 to machines right on top of it or do I need to uninstall agent prior to installation? Thanks

12.1.4 will upgrade right over the top of the current SEPM and SEP versions you have. See here:

Upgrading or migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.4 (RU4)

Just to note, SEP 12.1 is not supported on Windows 2000 so they need to stay on 11.x. 12.1 can manage 11.x clients so that's not an issue.

Latest SEPM 12.1 can manage all versions of 12.1 and 11.x

Great, what about SEP11 client communicating with latest SEPM ? And is 12.1.4 compatible with Win 2003 ?

Yes, 12.1.4 SEPM can manage 11.x clients as well so you should be fine.

Yes, 12.1.4 is compatible with Win 2003.

Hi,

Q. I am currently running SEPM 12.1.1101 and SEP 12.1.1101, SEP 11.0.6200 clients. (SEP 11.0.6200 for Win 2000 only) My question is if I upgrade SEPM to the latest version will SEP 12.1.1101 and SEP 11.0.6200 client continue to work?

--> It will work without any issue. But it's recommended to have SEPM and SEP clients on the same version. Upgrade to the latest available release of SEP to enjoy  many other enhancements and improvements.

Q. Also can I upgrade current SEP 12.1.4 machines by installing SEP 12.1.4 to machines right on top of it or do I need to uninstall agent prior to installation? Thanks

--> I think this question is not correct. You mentioned SEP 12.1.4 at both the time. However you can upgrade from any SEP client version to 12.1 RU4 without uninstall and reinstall.

Firts upgrade SEPM can refer the following article:

After successful SEPM upgrade plan for SEP client upgrade.

Upgrade clients to SEP 12.1 by Auto upgrade feature

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/sepm-121-auto-upgrade

Note: SEP 12.1 employs a side-by-side, replace on reboot installation strategy. Side-by-side means that new files are written to a new folder, referred to as a silo, isolated from the existing operational folder. Because the two versions are separated from each other, during a migration the older software is left running unchanged until the next reboot.

The primary benefit of side-by-side installation and replace on reboot is that the system continues to be protected by the existing software until the new version is in operation after the reboot.

This technique enables you to change the normal portion of the installation path during a migration, when applicable.

 My question is if I upgrade SEPM to the latest version will SEP 12.1.1101 and SEP 11.0.6200 client continue to work? 

Ans - Yes t can work without any issue.

Can I upgrade current SEP 12.1.4 machines by installing SEP 12.1.4 to machines right on top of it or do I need to uninstall agent prior to installation?

There is no need to uninstall any clients. You can use the autoupgrade feature to upgrade any of the client which is reporting to server

what about SEP11 client communicating with latest SEPM ? And is 12.1.4 compatible with Win 2003 ?

Is there any update?
