Unlike Small Business Server (SBS) 2003, Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 Remote Web Workplace (RWW) does not automatically publish any links to your application sharing servers.

If you're having trouble installing the Symantec Endpoint 11 client on a machine that was previously running Symantec AntiVirus server components you may have have to clean up the Windows Installer entries.

You may run into problems if you run the Symantec Endpoint 11 Manager on the same machines as VMware server. Luckily there's an easy workaround...

When installing Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on a server already running PHP you may get the following error when you try to log in: Unable to communicate with the reporting component. This can be caused by conflicting settings in your PHP.INI file.
