With all due respect, this thread is hardly "solved". I suppose that I could try to script a liveupdate run as a part of the install, but again you see the complexity that we are now forced to deal with. Until then, we are stuck with the immediate forced liveupdate run, which does not work well for our unattended/lab machines. It would be fantastic if Symantec were to update the instructions for slipstreaming virus defs into the installer pkg in 12.1.2. This seems to work, but is very clunky (and undocumented). I am experimenting with a method of replacing the contents of the SEPDEFS.zip file (in the "Additional Resources" folder) with the guts of the latest virus defs pkg. However, this appears to be impossible as of 12.1.2. For example, I used to follow this procedure to slipstream virus defs into the SEP installer pkg: This new flat package format is difficult to work with, no question. Hope this helps - please keep this thraed up to date with news of how you get on!Īs a fellow mac admin, I feel your pain. pkg file. It will automatically use what is needed from that new folder. Then just double click to unzip the downloaded archive file. zip file which contains the Symantec Endpoint Protection.pkg and the Additional Resources folder. The general install should occur just like in previous releases of SEP. There is no longer a metapackage (.mpkg file), but a flat installer package (.pkg file) which is signed with a new Apple-issued certificate. This new approach has necessitated some changes to the way SEP is structured. Apple has introduced a gatekeeper which ensures that all software getting installed is signed, similar to putting software onto an iPad or iPod I believe. This is for compatability with new security architecture in MAC OS X 10.8.2. Yes, the installer for SEP for Mac changed in 12.1 RU2.
