Re: Add Symantec Endpoint Protection to the broken list...

According to the article linked, and testing that I've done, it technically is compatible, i.e. it doesn't cause BSOD as previously predicted, however on Win 8 or greater machines (Server 2012 or greater) after applying the MS patch, the SEP client reports errors in the SysTray but not the UI on the client. Symantec assures "At this time, this issue has no functional impact on the protection technology of the SEP client." but still recommends not installing the MS update until a hotfix is in place.
