Virus Definition Disribution Tracking Spreadsheet

J.Porter's picture

The SEPM console offers great reporting features. I commonly look at the virus definition disribution report to determine how many of my clients have updated to the most current definition. My colleage and I created a excel spread to track the perentage of clients that updated in 24 hours, 48 hours, and so on. Zero day protection is extremely important to our organization, and our seniors like to see the level or protection offered by SEP11. We generate the following reports using the excel spreadsheet attached to this article. Feel free to use the spreadsheet and customize it to your liking. I've zeroed out the data. To use the spreadsheet generate a "virus definition distribution report" by doing the following 1) log into SEPM 2) Go to reports page 3) Select computer status and virus definition distribution will pop up 3) Generate report for Group you want information on. Copy the following information from the reports (Definition Date Revision, version inserted at, number of computers, percentage) and paste between columns A-E of the spreadsheet and your data will be interpretted. :

Nice sheet

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I will have to wait until RU5 is implemented completely as we are fighting with duplications in our database that is only resolved in RU5. We would see computers with old defs (1970) or also double entries with one good and one or several old. One issue of duplication happens specifically with VPN users who will get a different IP each time they connect. Just so you know this issue can happen for you as well ;-).
Coen.

XLSX?

I see a bunch (xml) of files when downloading, but not a single spreadsheet file. Would you be able to upload it in Excel 2003 format?

Thanks,

Coen.
