Dear Pete,

 

We want to know SEP linux and SEP Mac machines are able to get definition update from SEPM server. 

[pete]

not at this moment of time. These will get the updates from Symantec liveupdate or Internal LUA.

[Mithun Sanghavi]

Hello,

We want to know SEP linux and SEP Mac machines are able to get definition update from SEPM server. 

MAC definitions from SEPM - No. 

Linux definitions from SEPM - NO.

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH134203

Secondly, SEP 12.1 RU2 is the earliest supported build which is compatable with Windows 8 and Server 2012.

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU2 (SEP 12.1.2015) now supports additional new platforms and configurations.

You can now install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on the following operating systems:

• Windows 8

• Windows Server 2012

..please note this software cannot be managed from SEPM console.

MAC definitions from SEPM - still NO, actually.  &: )

Q. How can I configure the SEPM to supply definitions to SEP for Mac clients?
A. Unfortunately, the SEPM is not able to host or make available content (definitions or product updates) for SEP for Mac clients. All updates must occur through LiveUpdate, either from Symantec's servers, or from an internal LiveUpdate server using LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA). Please see 'Using the LiveUpdate Administrator on a PC to download updates for Symantec Endpoint Protection/Symantec AntiVirus 10 for Macintosh clients' for information on how to configure LUA for this content. Note: it is not recommended or supported for LUA and SEPM to be on the same physical server.

Hi Baljeet,

A couple final points regarding Windows 8 and SAVFL:

To clear up any potential confusion: Win8 is supported by SEP 12.1 RU2, but please note that the Windows Surface tablets do not actually run Windows 8.  They run Windows RT, which looks similar.  Also: Windows Phone 8 does not run Windows 8.  So, SEP 12.1 does not run on those Surface tablets or Windows Phones.  More details:

If you are deploying SAVFL, these articles may help make the job of installation, configuration and updating easier:

Hope this helps!  Please do update the thread with any additional questions, or mark the thread solved if the replies above include the info you were seeking.

Thumbs up to the above - neither SAV for Linux nor the MAC SEP clients have any possibility at the moment to  get the AV definitions updates from SEPM.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried SEP12.1.2 on the new Windows Surface Pro tablets (which do run Windows 8) release a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Mick2009]

Here are some general links about the new Surface Pro: looking forward to the comments of anyone who has tried SEP 12.1 RU2 on this new product.
