Symantec 12.1.2 (RU2) client on 12.1 (RU1) SEPM

Hello. I'm doing some testing with Symantec's latest release 12.1.2 (RU2) to ensure it's functionality with Windows 8. Can a management console still on 12.1 (RU1) manage the RU2 client? And if so, is the same method for making it a managed client on Windows 8 the same as it was in Windows 7 with replacing the sylink.xml? 

Thanks.
