    Hi,

    There are two methods to move Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) from one machine to another:

    Method 1: if the SEPM server keeps the same IP and host name, you can refer to "Best Practices for Disaster Recovery with the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager"

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag....

    Method 2: if the new SEPM server has a different IP and host name, there are two alternatives:

    1. Use replication to install a new SEPM and keep the policy the same with old SEPM. See "How to move Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager from one machine to another" 

    2. Install a new SEPM, then use the Sylink file (replace with sylink replacer tool ) to establish communication between the new SEPM and the existing SEP client.

    No, you don't need to configure the clients. If the new  server where the SEPM is going to be installed , has the same ip and servername then you just need to restore the database
    and server private keys and server.xml.For that you can follow the Disaster recovery kb given above.

    Replication is an option, but its better not to go for that. Beacuse if you do replication and remove the old server that is the Primary SEPM , in future if you want to do replication you will not be able to do so.

    easiest way is to use the sylink replacer tool..

    Hello,

    You don't need to configure the clients incase, the new server where the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager is going to be installed has the same ip and servername.

    However, incase of worst incidents where the clients don't report back to the new Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager; you always can use Sylink Replacer as the Best Tool which will replace the sylink file on all Symantec Endpoint Protection machines and make them report back to the new Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
