  • 1.  Is there a way to get a list of machines that are in User mode?

    Posted Feb 07, 2011 01:25 PM

    Hello,

    We have a thousands of machines in our environment in Computer mode, but sometimes we discover that there are clients went in User mode.
    I can’t find a proper type of report to get list of all these machines.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,
    Angel Yotov

    You can get a list of Users, go to Clients>View Client System, then filter by "Only User".

    Hi.

    For a quick look, I'd have to agree with CycleTech. That get's you an immediate view (per group).

     

    Alternatively, you might want to look into the database using the db schema reference guide found at http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102544
    Specifically pg 141 refers to the SEM client schema and field POLICY_MODE.

    I personally have not looked into this yet. Let us know what you find.

    SELECT [POLICY_MODE],[Computer_Name]
    FROM [sem5].[dbo].[SEM_CLIENT]
    WHERE [POLICY_MODE] = 0 and [Computer_Name] <> ''
    Order by [COMPUTER_NAME]

    Embedded DB query will be a lil' different.

    Thanks to all of you.

    It seems that using of DB query will be the best way to get this information.
