Symantec 20032623 - Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition Implementation Manual page 293

An upgrade to Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition from a
previous version, however, can affect which notification conditions are enabled
by default. It can also affect their default settings.
The following notification conditions are enabled by default in a new installation
of Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition:
Client list changed
New client software
Over deployment issue
Paid license issue
Risk outbreak
Server health
Trialware license expiration
Virus definitions out-of-date
When an administrator upgrades the software from a previous version, all existing
notification conditions from the previous version are preserved. However, existing
New software package notification conditions become New client software
notification conditions. The New client software condition has two settings that
are not present in the New software package condition: Client package and
Security definitions. When the software is upgraded, the Client package setting
is enabled and the Security definitions setting is disabled for this notification
condition.
Note: When the Security definitions setting in the New client software notification
condition is enabled, it may cause a large number of notifications to be sent. This
situation can occur when there are many clients or when there are frequently
scheduled security definition updates. If you do not want to receive frequent
notifications about security definition updates, you can edit the notification
condition to disable the Security definitions setting
The value of the Send email to system administrators setting is preserved across
the upgrade for all notification conditions that have this setting.
When a default notification condition type has not been added in a previous
installation, that notification condition is added in the upgraded installation.
However, the upgrade process cannot determine which default notification
conditions may have been deleted deliberately by the administrator in the previous
installation. With one exception, therefore, all of the following action settings are
disabled in each default notification condition in an upgraded installation: Send
