Endpoint Protection

Hello,

We have a 50,000+ client environment using SEP.  The client names are various formats and do not follow similar standard and they are all in various different subnets.  I am often given a list of computer names and ip addresses so that I can search for the clients in that list and move them to a specific group, such as a group that allows uninstalling of the client without the need for a password.  I know that the search field has an export option; however it lacks the import list option, so I can search in mass and move them to appropriate folder.  I am aware of the LIKE parameter and *% parameters as well, however using those parameters is still not efficient when dealing with thousands of computers.  Hence my question below:

1.  Is there a way to mass import a list, search them and move them to a single group via GUI?

2.  Is there a command line, maybe VB script way of doing this?

Thank you,

Adam.

There is no option to import a list. As you already mentioned, using the LIKE parameter probably works best.

You would need to query your DB in order to do this.

You can review the DB scheme to see which tables to query:

HI,

Try to this

Do you have all Host name ?

If yes you can use MoveClient.vbs script for laptop one group to new group

Hello,

You could find MoveClient.vbs for SEP 12.1 under the Tools DVD -

Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1_Tools_and_Documents_EN.exe

Once, you extract the contents of the DVD, you would see under - ...\Tools\NoSupport\MoveClient

you may export the computer status into excel and then identify the clients to be moved and use the scrip in above post to move them to designated group.

wow I never knew such tool existed :-)
