Important Note: IT Analytics (ITA) and its Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) report pack are not stand alone products. ITA is an Altiris 7.1 solution that requires a dedicated Symantec Management Platform (SMP) 7.1 server and Microsoft SQL Server running Reporting and Analysis services. These must be installed, configured and operational before ITA can be installed, configured and used in the Altiris Console. Note: As this is not a fast or necessarily simple process and may require additional hardware, evaluation of using ITA for SEP reports may need to be considered before continuing.
Once the SMP is operational and the Microsoft SQL Server is running Reporting and Analysis Services, ITA can be installed and configured. The following instructions describe how to do this:
