Once this file works the way you want when manually run, it is very simple to have KACE deploy it. Test the file you create here by installing it manually on a client computer to make sure your “silent” install, if you chose that, works to be silent.

Be aware the Symantec Client Deployment Wizard creates one 32-bit install file and.

exe installation package in the SEPM Client Deployment Wizard. That is done in “Admin/Install Packages/Client Install Settings” in the SEPM, prior to creating your.

If you want a totally silent install for KACE deployment, you need to define that during the process of creating this install file in the SEPM. In my environment, I created an install package in which the “client install settings” was set to “Show Progress Bar”, because I wanted the Symantec installation routine to be visible at its beginning on my KACE client computers while it was installing.exe file in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager for use for KACE 1000 Deployment'. For instructions how to do that, consult the Symantec Administrator Manual or see my posted Deployment Tip 'How to create an. Create that package as a single '.exe' file. From the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM), use the Client Deployment Wizard to create an installation package that you save to a network location that can be accessed by the KACE 1000.Even so, there is a way around the KACE limitation that I will explain in the last step. Dell KACE’s limitation is that the software inventory is unable to distinguish between a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the exact same software title and version. The Windows 64-bit OS must have a Windows 64-bit SEP install file.

Symantec's limitation is that a Windows 32-bit SEP install file cannot be installed on a Windows 64-bit OS. This limitation is due to limitations with both the Symantec product and the Dell KACE product.

There is one limitation: you can use KACE 1000 to deploy either a 32-bit OR a 64-bit installation package at any one time, but cannot deploy both concurrently. I did this with my KACE 1000 and it worked very well. Even though Symantec does not support a command line install of the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 client, using the default Symantec installation files, there is a way around that limitation if you want to deploy the SEP.
