Hello everyone
Received SES v16 announcement email last night so I've installed it on a couple of test machines (few workstations, one server). Installation went smooth, without making local install cache like v14. Endpoint Security agent works fine, from this install sample I cannot determine if it has lighter footprint then v14, but it definitely isn't heavier.
Couple of questions came up immediately, for me at least:
1) Server install package, seems to be configured the same way as in v14, it does not include Firewall, Intrusion protection, Proactive Threat Protection,....
We are using SES firewall (and these other options) on servers as well. Servers have their own group in Device Groups. The way to acomplish this in v14 was from Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall, Change and then add these components, but v16 has uninstall only.
Settings & actions for Workstation
I tried installing Workstation package on a test VM server, 'Endpoint protection' tab has appeared in 'Settings & actions' but with only 2 available options 'Enable Auto-Protect' and 'Enable Device Control'.
But when I move this endpoint from Workstation Device Group to Servers group even these two disapear, along with 'Endpoint protection' tab.
Is there a way to use SES firewall on the Server OS with SES v16?
2) Exclusions directly at the endpoint (not via policy): is it possible to add/configure and if it is, how?
3) smc -stop/smc -start is not working. Is there a replacement command?
Regards
