Endpoint Protection

Hello Friends,

 Thank you for your help Rafeeq and Pete but these are not exactly what i want,i need to find collation settings for SEPM.

already installed sepm or yet to?
how to install sepm on 2008?
or
what not to do list kind of thing?
 

 I'll install SEPM yesterday like a Two SEP Manager Servers and One SQL 2008 Server scenerio.
I did a installation to another customer before but it was to complicated because many strived many other problems so i didn't remember the steps that i take before when i installed sep manager.
But i remember that so many problems occured when i was choose the right  collation settings.

So because i don't want get any problems with colllation settings i need to know that what can i choose correctly.

Thanks

I think the best practices doc what i mentioned in the above post should be good, what was the issues u ran into?
failed to connect to the server?
reporting issue?
this doc is more than enough

There should be nothing special, IMO.
Install SQL to a server, install SEPM and point it to the server.
You do need to install SQL client to the SEPM, at least with SQL2005.
Otherwise, it's a matter of defaults, pretty much.
We've certainly done nothing special at all - frankly, because the SQL server was built to serve other much larger applications and databases.
If Symantec went around stating "You must install and configure your SQl server a certain way for SEPM to work" there'd be a huge uproar! No one can afford to customize their SQL server to fit a specific app. That apps need to comply with SQL standards, period.

In other words, SEPM should deal with any standard SQL install and need nothing special.
I don't imagine that a multi-million dollar business running gigs of databases on a corporate SQL server is going to shut down other apps to make a security application work........
So, I guess I"m confused as to why you might be thinking the SQL server has to be customized to work with SEPM (SEP Manager)

Can you be more specific please?

 Hello,
For ex. if i choose windows computer language settings for ex. turkish SEP Manager doesn't work because of just language settings and for ex. again if choose the collation settings like SQL_Croatian_Cp1250_CI_AS_KI_WI Sep Manager doesn't connect to database again,so maybe this problem just occured for non-english countries with non-english computers,but i got these errors so many times.

Thanks
