  • 1.  SCCM SEP 12.1.3 Deployment

    Posted Sep 12, 2013 10:11 AM

    Im having some issues deploying SEP with SCCM,

     

    I can get it to deploy but after it installs it keeps coming up with the box " The Symantec Endpoint Protection installation requires the computer to restart."

     

    Ive tried adding the /NORESTART switch and even tried using REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS but every time this comes up.

     

    The command line i use is msiexec /i <path to msi> /qb /NORESTART or msiexec /i <path to msi> /passive REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS neither has worked.

     

    Can someone assist me I dont want users to see this as I plan on having SCCM reboot the comptuer for me.

    Similar thread here:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-client-install-through-sccm-os-deployment-task-sequence

    I'm wondering if this is a bug. Perhaps a call to support is needed.

    Was this a fresh install?

    Hello,

    Process for installing the client using Microsoft Systems Management Server

    Step

    Description

    Step 1

    Create a software installation package with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager that contains the software and policies to install on your client computers. Additionally, this software installation package must contain a file named Sylink.xml, which identifies the server that manages the clients.

    Step 2

    Create a source directory and copy Symantec client installation files into that source directory. For example, you would create a source directory that contains the installation files for Symantec client software.

    Step 3

    Create a package, name the package, and identify the source directory as part of the package.

    Step 4

    Configure the Program dialog box for the package to specify the executable that starts the installation process, and possibly specify the msi with parameters.

    Step 5

    Distribute the software to specific Collections with Advertising.

    Thanks for the replys,

     

    I didnt realize that you removed the switches,

     

    I changed "RebootPromptUser=False" and "HardReboot=False" in setAid.ini and that worked perfectly
