When Symantec cease marketing or distributing a product or a version release of Licensed Software. All other requests for support will be denied. If a problem does occur, your only course of action with Technical Support will be to upgrade to Endpoint Protection 14. Endpoint Protection 12.x will no longer be supported by Technical Support. Intrusion Prevention, Proactive Threat Protection and all other content will not be available for download through any means. This is not a recommended or supported configuration, and should only be considered to maintain protection while completing the upgrade to SEP 14. Endpoint Protection 12.x clients can still obtain virus definitions from a 14.x Endpoint Protection Manager.

The challenge i had was that on several clients it seemed Symantec had a different IdentifyingNumber (IN), which is the GUID used by Windows to identify the product.Īs there were only 7 client machines i did a lot more of this manually than perhaps i needed to.įirstly i found the right IdentifyingNumbe r from each PC. I already had the machines on the network configured for PowerShell Remoting, so connecting to them was not a challenge. There are various ways of course to execute a command on a remote machine, you can use PSTools’, PSExec for example, but i prefer to use PowerShell where i can. I did a lot of searching around for a reliable solution, most of which came back to using MSIEXEC from a command line. It was a small SEPM deployment, only 7 clients and a server but i was surprised to be reminded that SEPM has no ‘uninstall’ tool from their console. Finally moving my last client from Symantec SEPM to Trend Micros WFBS Hosted platform.
