The AutoUpgrade process lets you automatically upgrade the Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition client software for all the clients that are
contained in a group. For example, you can use AutoUpgrade to upgrade clients
to a new maintenance release or product version.
You must test the AutoUpgrade process before you attempt to upgrade a large
number of clients in your production network. If you do not have a test network,
you can create a test group within your production network. For this kind of test,
you add a few non-critical clients to the test group and then upgrade them by
using AutoUpgrade. You confirm that the upgrade completed successfully by
verifying the version number of the client software. The version number is
displayed in the client's Help >About panel.
