    Hello,

    If incase, you Purchase the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Enterprise Edition, you may be able to have point 1 and 2 performed by the same software.

    However, for Point 3, MS Exchange would be protected by another Symantec software - Symantec Mail Security for Exchange. However, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 client could be installed on the Exchange server to protect other files other than MS Exchange.

    So Let me Answer your Question properly.

     

    1.       Can I protect virus spread by autorun feature?

    Answer: Yes. You can perform the steps provided in the Article:  

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104447

    2.       Can I manage application & devices?

    Yes. Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Enterprise Edition provides you full control over application & devices

    3.       Can it protect Exchange server & oracle server from virus?

    Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 client could be installed on the Exchange server to protect other files other than MS Exchange. MS Exchange folders would not be protected by Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Enterprise Edition. MS Exchange would be protected by another Symantec software - Symantec Mail Security for Exchange.

    and yes, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 client could be installed on the Oracle server. However, there are few exclusions which you may have to create for Oracle files. Check this Article:

    Hope that helps!!
