How do I verify that all my clients and GUPs are getting updates?
Created: 03 Dec 2012 | Updated: 04 Dec 2012 | 6 comments
I'm running endpoint protection manager 12.1. I've just inherited it from someone that left the company so I'm attempting to audit the setup. How do I verify that all my clients are getting updated and the gups are getting updated and that the clients are getting updated from the correct GUPs?

Use this tool to monitor GUP health. It will tell you all you need to know about your GUPs:

this looks good. thanks guys. I'm going to have to spend some time going over this stuff.
For me the problem is that most solutions need to be done from the client with debug logging on. There are not many centralised solutions that are usefull. Even this SQL query and associated report doesn't give all the info.
Would be interesting to know which solutions works best for you.
1. Find events regarding updates from the GUP by logging in to the Symantec Endpoint Protection manager (SEPM) console:
Monitors > Logs > Log type: System > Log content: Client activity > View log:
2. SEP Content Distribution Monitor will help you to monitor GUP health and status as well as general content deployment.

the report I ran in SEPM for client activity returned over 6000 results. How do I find out which clients are out of date or updating from the wrong gup without reading 6000 log entries?
Would you like to reply?
