SEP Scan Schedule: "Scan for up to"

Hello,

In the "Virus and Spyware Policy" you can configure the scan schedule.

One of the parameters available is under "Scan Duration" -> " Scan for up to". Here you can specify how long a scan can run before it gets terminated. I would like to configure the Server Scan Schedule to start at 4am on Sunday and give it a "Scan for up to" value of 24 hours. This will terminate the scan on Monday 4am. Normally 24 hours should be long enough for most scans to complete. However: how do I identify Servers that were not finished yet after 24hours and got their Scan process terminated?

Is there a central LOG-file which collects this info?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
