This is the moment you’ve been waiting for – Symantec has released Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1 Release Update 6 Maintenance Pack 4 (12.1.6 MP4). The exact version is 12.1.6860.6400. Hooray!!!
You can grab a copy from FileConnect using your serial number.
This release includes the fixes where SEP Client would roll back if you have “Cumulative Update for Windows 10” (KB3140743) installed on your Windows 10 Build 1511 platform. So if you have been experiencing this issue, this newly released update is for you.
And there are other fixes as well – have a read at http://www.symantec.com/docs/INFO3517
The Release Notes can be found at http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC9223 where you can download the PDF.
The System Requirements has been updated as well to include the latest version, but I can’t see any much change compared with the previous revision - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH231877
And finally, the bonus with this new release is that it has fixed a few security vulnerabilities, which you can read more at https://www.symantec.com/security_response/securityupdates/detail.jsp?fid=security_advisory&pvid=security_advisory&year=&suid=20160317_00– this is covered on both SEPM and SEP client. So it’s worthwhile an upgrade to the SEPM console too.
As always, TEST, TEST, TEST. And TEST this on the development network before releasing this to your live production network. Unless you’re feeling brave. ;)
