I am trying to setup Symatec Endpoint protection Manager on my server. Symanted forum specs says that it needs to have a Intel Zeon with EM64T support, or a
Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support. My server is running a Intel Zeon E5430. They are both Zeon's what does "WITH EM64T SUPPORT" mean. I am assuming they are diffrent processors.

Well, EM64T is a programming library that supports advanced functions available on 64 bit processors running 64 bit operating systems.

Looking at the Intel web site, it looks like they replaced the EM64T name with VT. At least for processors.

"The CPU needs to support VT and it needs to be enabled in the BIOS. Hence the board as well needs to support VT."

From this thread:

http://communities.intel.com/message/60934

In addition, as is spelled out in the thread, you need to be running a 64 bit OS for the EM64T instructions to be enabled.

Also, comparing your E5430 with a newer E5530 processor, some of the differences include that the E5430 does not support Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading and VT-d Advanced Technologies.

I am unable to install the program on the server, because my processor does not support Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading and VT-d Advance Technologies, would this be the reason why?

Your processor doesn't support that instruction set. Sorry

thanks for your replies!!!
this is for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager
it says(To continue this installation,make sure that the internet information services(IIS)World wide web publishing(W3SVC)is installed and running. On computers that are running IIS 7.0 or later, the following role services, must also be installed:asp.net,CGI,and IIS 6.0 management compatability.

what is this saying, and what are these services?

Thanks

Just install IIS with the default component selected, then run the setup again.
You don't need to select and install CGI nor ASP.NET, i did not, and its working fine.

Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Program -> Add or remove windows component -> Application services -> IIS

i wasn't able to get to this post, but i did finally get it working, i inastalled asp.net,CGI on the server and it worked, the only problem is after 13 users it stopped syncing to the computers. can't figure this one out, any suggestions?

by cudmasters los

should i run a standalone computer or server to run the manager, or could i put this on my terminal server?

by mohammad oweis

Use Windows Server 2003 or 2008, you can use Windows XP, but its not recommended; because you have a limitation on the number of connections, so not all your clients will be able to connect to the server.

It does not matter if the server was joined to the domain or not, but i recommend to join it to the domain.

about terminal server, i am not sure if it will work, but i don't recommend that because the terminal server will be loaded with a lot of connections, plus SEP needs large amount of RAM 1GB, so if it work, it will kill the TS server
