GUP status report or logs must be exportable separateley

Hello Ramji,

I've heard that the GUP feature will be improved in SEP11 MR5. Once a computer receives the policy nominating it as a GUP from the SEP11 servers, the folder C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SharedUpdates will be created. When the GUP connects to the SEPM server for updates, it will store the updates it downloads in the shared updates folder. The file GUP.DAT will also reside in the folder. You can determine if a SEP11 client is retrieving updates from a GUP by completing the following instructions:

1)      Open SEP11.

2)      Select view logs on the left.

3)      Select view logs under Client Management.

4)      Select system log.

5)      Look for an entry similar to “Start using Group Update Provider (proxy server) @ XXX.XXX.XXX:2967.”

In addition a diffent icon for a GUP would also be very helpfull. We now combine the GUP with the Unmanaged Detector function, at least then we get to see a different icon and can determine from the console which system is the GUP without having to go through all the policies.
