Hi All...

I have one primary Site and 48 Remote Sites with one SEPM(MSSQL) each.

All Remote sites are getting the updates from LUA server Located in Cenral Office.

To get the update status of all sites, I have to login to each and every site and check.  This is causing delay in producing the report.
(I have not included Liveupdate content in Replication and There is no mail server configuration for Scheduled report)

Is there any way to get Update status of all remote sites from primary server?

Hi bekirdur, As i have

Hi bekirdur,

As i have already mentioned we have SEPM in each site with MSSQL

We have deployed SEP across 20,000+ clients in 1200 branch offices.
All these branch offices are divided into Network aggregation Point(NAP). We have 48 NAP's and each NAP contains one SEPM(With replication setup with primary)

I have installed a LUAdmin in primary location and configured all Remote SEPM to get updates from our internal Liveupdate server.
 
Now my question is How to find out whether Remote site has got update or not......?

since you are using the mssql

since you are using the mssql as your database why dont you try to replicate each of your site, and may I ask if why did you set up a lot of SEPM remote sites?

@Peterpan...... It was

@Peterpan......

It was designed like that(With the help of Symantec support).
I came to the picture at the time of Implementation phase of the project.

Customer wanted a Management point in each NAP's, So There is a SEPM in each
NAP's.
I have already configured all 48 servers for replication(every night). Live update Content
replication is not selected. It used to take longer time and replication
used to fail.

Now i don't have any method to track the update status of all the server from
one central place.

You may try getting syslogs

You may try getting syslogs from SEP Managers. Kiwi syslog server is free. But it won't report or consolidate them for you. If you have some programmers in the office, you may get them create a template for you to use. I'm not into programming but it shouldn't be so hard, because you'll have logs in plain text and Syslog formatted.

I think this actually might

I think this actually might be a pretty good option. Programmatically consolidating the sys logs is pretty trivial in almost any programming language. It is pretty much just appending text files. Even with little to no programming experience I think you could do this if you follow a good tutorial. If you need any help feel free to post or pm directly and I could help.

Cheers,
Grant
