SEPM "Virus Def Distro" does not give enough detailed info
As the title says, I am looking to get more detailed information that what the pie chart and corresponding table seemingly provide. I'm hoping that it is capable of doing this and I have just been unable to find it up to this point.
Currently, I see the chart with the breakdown as a tally of clients that have a certain date's defs. It shows:
2009-07-16 rev. 040 xx (# of clients w/this def)
2009-07-05 rev. 020 xx
2009-03-31 rev. 019 xx
2007-08-20 rev. 048 xx
What I am wanting to see is the name of the clients that have the older defs so that I can manually check them. Without a hostname however, I would have to touch each machine which is extremely less than ideal. Does anyone know if SEPM is capable of providing this info without having to click on each and every client to check (a lot of which don't have any information beyond hostname, group, domain and unique ID) or having to go and log on and verify?
Is there a custom report that will show me this? I tried to use the default reporting capabilities and was unsuccessful when running a:
Report type: Computer Status
Select a report: Virus Def Distro
Filter: Default
AV Def date > 30days
All this provides is another pie chart and table showing exactly what the home screen already shows with no detail on which clients have the out of date defs. (which is pretty basic info to provide I would have thought)
Any help would be appreciated.
What version r u using ?
What version are you using ? because if you are using a version MR3 (11.0.3001.xx or above) then you won't have this complain.
From MR3 and above in the clients tab if you change the view from default to Protection Technology view then you can view all the definition revisions on the clients and you can even sort them by definition date.
Even in older version if you want to check the deifnition dates on clients then You need to go to Monito-Logs -Computer status-View Logs--Either view it there or export it.
But I will strongly recommend to be on the latest version MR4MP2 11.0.4202.xx

Thanks a lot Vikram. I'm
Thanks a lot Vikram.
I'm guessing that I am on an earlier version b/c I couldn't even find a way of changing the view on the clients tab. I was however, able to view the info on the Monitors -> Logs though.
I'm very grateful! You saved me a bunch of time.
Would you like to reply?
