It seems like we need to do this "song and dance" for SEP compatibility releases for each new OS that is released.
We need Symantec to provide us with a timeline of when an updated version of SEP will be compatible so that we can plan accordingly. Today, students are upgrading to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and we do not have an officially supported version of SEP to provide them that is compatible with El Capitan. With a BYOD environment, we need to have product updates on day 1 of a new operating system release. Of course we can control OS upgrades on university-owned assets to accommodate Symantec's (sometimes painfully) delayed product updates to enable support for new operating systems, but we cannot do so on student-owned computers. We install SEP on all university-owned computers, as well as provide it to all students (in fact we require it to connect to our network and enforce with a NAC solution). We license a host of Symantec products, but I'd like to focus on Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). We are an educational instituation - and a long time Symantec customer - well over a decade.
