Hello,
We have recently put new Symantec Endpoint Protection infrastructure in place. For our Linux and Windows machines, this has not been an issue at all. Things have gone smoothly, and we have been able to have both OSes get discovered via Symantecs AD sync, and apply policies by OU, etc... Great! But, an odd issue we came across, Mac OSX clients are not being discovered by Symantec. We have other programs/tools/scripts which have no issue seeing Mac OSX clients in the AD infrastructure. This is a problem because we now have to make 20 Installers for Mac clients, and a separate management hierarchy on the management server. Problem 1) if a Mac gets the wrong installer, it gets placed in the wrong group, despite AD design, 2) maintaining 20 installers is time consuming and clunky, 3) cleaning up old objects as they are decommed/rebuilt has become a clunky and time consuming issue.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Thad
