    Hi Golani,

    SBS 2011 is built on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Any product that runs on that OS should be supported, though it may not be "certified" (a full range of tests run specifically on that platform).  I knwo of no reason why SBS 2011 users should run into any problems.

    Here are a couple of good articles:

    Support for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH145538)

    System requirements for Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Network Access Control 11.0.6 (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH131642)

    Also see:

    Best Practices documents for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 on Microsoft Small Business Server  (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104584)

    Please let the connect forum community know if this solves your question, or if there is anything additional that you require!

    Thanks and best regards,

    Hello ,

    I agree with Mick.

    As SBS 2011 a newest Operating System on the Conrner.

    As Mick stated, "It is built on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Any product that runs on that OS should be supported, though it may not be "certified" (a full range of tests run specifically on that platform). "

    However, why don't you go ahead and Test it yourself.

    Incase, if you are going ahead with Installation, I would recommend you to install only Antivirus/Antispyware on the machine.

     

    Let us know, what were the results.

    Looking forward for the results of above test.

    Why is the subject of that post "Test"?
