Without praising or condemning SEP, if you have a large installation, it is well worth your while to get Symantec support to assist you. There is no simple answer to your query; SEP is a complex product with a lot of configuration options and every installation environment is different. Talk to your Symantec account manager about getting their 3rd-level support involved. We eventually were forced to do this during our upgrade from SAV CE to SEP and it would have helped cut our deployment much shorter had we done this in the beginning.

Some are taking a short time, some are going on for a long time (1, 3, 5 Hours.) I am looking for someone with a similar situation. It is an upgraded install, its on a phyical box. For some it installs fast, for others it is very lengthy. For such a huge company and so many servers we cant have it taking so long. If you have any thoughts shoot them my way. Thanks!
