I am currently on SEP 12.1.1000.157 RU1. We have a mixture of XP & Win7 PC's on our network (1 server). I began the setup of our first Win8 PC today. After I ran the setup file (x86) it downloaded everything and got to the point of rebooting the PC. Then I ran into the problem...PC said it had encountered an error and went back to a system restore point. (I left at that point so I'm unsure in what state it's in...hopefully just prior to the SEP install.)
Then I realized that possibly I needed an SEP update for Win8 PC's which led me to the forums and I see that I do need to migrate to SEP 12.1.3 for Win8 PC's to run SEP. I have pulled together all the info I need to do this and will move forward in January.
My question...for a period of time, I will have XP, Win7 & Win8 PC's on this network. I won't have all PC's converted over to Win8 until late Spring. Also there will be some 32-bit (all XP & some Win7) & some 64-bit (some Win7 & all new Win8) machines. I just wanted to confirm that all of these PC's can co-exist after upgrading to SEP 12.1.3. Can you confirm this? Also, anything I need to particularly be aware of with this environment and the upgrade?
Thanks so much!
