Upgrading Symantec Mobile Management
Use the following procedure to update to latest version of Symantec Mobile Management:
Prerequisites for upgrading to Symantec Mobile Management
7.2 SP3
■ Upgrading to version 7.2 SP3 is only supported from version 7.2 SP2. If your current installation is an earlier version that 7.2 SP2, you must first upgrade to 7.2 SP 2. Be aware of the following warnings:
Warning:The update to Symantec Mobile Management 7.2 SP1 or later from 7.2 or earlier can result in the loss of WiFi connectivity for managed iOS devices. The managed devices that have a WiFi profile are affected. Read the knowledge base articleTECH194739Loss of Device Wi-Fi Communication After Upgrade of SMM to 7.2 SP1 for more information about this issue.
Some installations may also lose authentication services. For more information and instructions to correct the problem, see the Symantec knowledge base article TECH197019,Authentication stops working after upgrading to Symantec Mobile Management 7.2 SP1.
Warning:If using F5 rules and your environment has custom iRule requirements, manually remove the iRule cache file
(C:\ProgramData\Symantec\MobileManagement\eas_rule.txt). Replace this cache file with the new version by running the
NS.Quarter-Hour{5834ae07-1160-4037-8a25-67aebf6a254e} scheduled task after upgrading. Replacing the cache file allows the iRule definition version to update to the new version. The iRule definition version is not automatically changed during an upgrade to the latest Symantec Mobile Management version. TouchDown configuration fails as a result.
