Rufus this is what I tried. First our iMac's are not part or joined to our domain.
1) I went to Actions>Agents/Plug-ins>Push Symantec Management Agent
2) Click on Install Agent for UNIX, Linux and Mac
3) Under Pull install , then under Page View, I selected Mac from the dropdown next to Select platform
4) I clicked on View page and I downloaded the Symantec Management Agent Installer for Mac using Edge on my Windows 10 PC
5) I then copied the Symantec_Management_Agent_Installer.pkg to the iMac and run the installer.
It appears to install fine but the Mac doesn't show that it has the Agent in the console and it do not show any information for the Mac. Anything I'm missing here?

Dear Sid9678,
Installing the SMA on MacOS has become increasingly easier with every version.
If you have SMP 8.5 you can use the download page to simply download the pkg file and run that:
- Go to the Agent push page, Actions -> Agents/Plug-ins -> Push Symantec management agent
- From there in the bottom part of the web page, titled Push install, select the Mac as the platform and click on view page
- You can then click to download the pkg file and run that
For MacOS related commands please see: https://help.symantec.com/cs/itms8.5/SMPLAT/v71630705_v125258922/Symantec-Management-Agent-for-UNIX,-Linux,-and-Mac-troubleshooting-commands?locale=EN_US
You can also push the agent if the remote management under sharing is enabled:
