Description
Make sure your computers comply with the minimum system requirements
and that you understand the product licensing requirements.
See System requirements"
See Product license requirements"
Uninstall other virus protection software from your computers, make sure
system-level access is available, and open firewalls to allow remote deployment.
See Preparing for client installation"
See Preparing Windows operating systems for remote deployment"
Remotely deploying the client requires that certain ports and protocols are
open and allowed between the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and the
endpoint computers.
Identify the user names, passwords, email addresses, and other installation
settings. Have the information on hand during the installation.
Install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
If the network that supports your business is small and located in one
geographic location, you need to install only one Symantec Endpoint Protection
Manager. If your network is geographically dispersed, you may need to install
additional management servers for load balancing and bandwidth distribution
purposes.
See Installing the management server and the console"
If you are running legacy Symantec protection, you usually migrate policy and
group settings from your older version.
