Not sure what you mean by disabling the network portion..for instance,
does disabling the network portion prevent rollout of product
installation from server to clients?

No, I'm talking about the network threat scanning, where it will scan
your network drives also. Since all systems are running SEPP you don't
need to scan network drives because each network drive is also a LOCAL
drive on a computer that has SEPP installed - UNLESS you have a NAS unit
that does not have SEPP installed on it.

Do you install the Multi-tier version of SEPP which includes the Mail
Security for Exchange or do you just use the "Standard" SEPP?

We install the workstation part that includes Exchange, POP, SMTP, and
file/memory scanning, and put it out from the server to the
workstations.

We disable the local Network scanning function or don't install it where
possible.

We do not use Symantec products for scanning email at the server level,
we use WatchGuard UTM spam/attachment services as well as some GFI
products. In the past I found that Symantec Exchange scanning was very
costly and almost useless, and it stopped protecting when the license
expired, other vendors don't stop, they just don't update.

Thanks for the info..one last question...did you have to disable the
Windows Firewall on XP SP2 clients before deploying SEP client
packages? We had to on the previous Symantec version and the Windows
Firewall option to turn off is greyed out (we think by GPO)on the
SBS2003 clients. We have not tried to deploy SEP yet, but wanted a
heads up.

Thanks again!
