  • Screen shots of or verbatim logging of output of exportcfg that is ran at admin CLI of EDR Platform
  • Communications password that is shared by the EDR Management Server and EDR scanner

About exporting/importing Symantec EDR configuration settings

  • Screen shots of all EDR UI settings
  • Copy of certificate file that is used to secure EDR UI
  • Copy of each certificate file that is used to secure communications between EDR and SEPM
  • User name and password for each configured SEP DB connection or SEPM Controller connection
  • Export of EDR Blacklist entries (can be exported through ATP UI Policies page)
  • Export of EDR Whitelist entries (can be exported through ATP UI Policies page)
  • Symantec License File (.slf file) for EDR that contains a start_date before the current date and contains an end_date after the current date

Additional Information

EDR was formerly known as Symantec Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Platform.

 

In preparation for a Disaster Recovery plan, the next step to identify is how to re-install or re-deploy EDR/ATP.
