Endpoint Protection

Hello,

Using the SEPM console I push a full scan to a SEP Client.

On the SEP client there does not appear to be any way to tell if an on demand scan is currently running.

The only way I have found was to open the SEP client, click on Scan for Threats, and click on Run Active Scan. This give a popup saying "Another scan is in progress. Your scan will be queued if you want to continue with the scan."

I want to find a strategy for a customer of mine.

Cheers

Does the Scan log not show an entry with "Scanning..." in it?

You can use the event logs

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.x event log entries

Hi Brian,

No. I suspected there should be an intication in the "Scan for Threats" section of the client or in the event logs.

The event logs only show scan that I kick off on the SEP client itself.

I am just thinking. I will check the log setting in the AV and spyware policy and let you know.

Hi Rafeeq,

That is a broken link.

There is no option to enable adding logs for scans in the SEP client in the "Log Handling" section of the AV and Spyware policy.

This might be a SEP 14 issue.

My SEP 12.1.6 client has them:

This is the SEP 14 client.
