Hello SEP users
I currently have a Endpoint environment that runs SEP 11.0.2010.25 MR2 MP1.
I want to be running the latest version of SEP and to my understanding this would be: 11.0.4202 MR4 MP2 ?
I have currently deployed SEP to my clients with a custom msi file created from the SEP Manager/server. This works very well and i have had no problems with it.
I understand the supported upgrade path is like this:
FROM - SEP 11.0.2010.25 MR2 MP1
- TO - 11.0.4000 MR4
- TO - 11.0.4202 MR4 MP2
Is this correct?
Upgrading the server is no problem for me.
But what about the clients?
I want to upgrade / install using GPO and MSI files.
What is the best way to go, i see two ways to go from here:
1. Upgrade clients
FROM - SEP 11.0.2010.25 MR2 MP1
- TO - 11.0.4000 MR4
- TO - 11.0.4202 MR4 MP2
2. Uninstall clients and install a fresh client 11.0.4202 MR4 MP2
Lets talk about the options.
Option 1:
a. First I would create a new custom package with the same features as the old install and the new package would be
MR4 plain.
b. Then assign the new package to my GPO that I used to deploy the old version of SEP. MR2 MP1
c. Then select the option to upgade package with this option: package can upgrade ove existing package.
d. Once all clients are upgraded to MR 4 plain. i would repeat steps a - c for the newest release?
Option 2:
a. First i would create a new custom package with the same features and the new package would be
MR4 MP2.
b. Then assing a new package to my GPO that i used to deplay the old version. MR2 MP1
c. Then select the option to upgade package with this option:
Uninstall the existing package, then install the upgrade package
So what would you SEP users out there recommend me to do?
Is it even possible to deploy this way with GPO?
Thanks in advance!
