    Hi

    I need to check in every system if the proactive threat protection definition date are updated. There is any key in registry with this information?

    I have found this key PatternFileDate in SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV that give me the information about Virus and Spyware Protection definition date.

    i dont have acess to the central management console and

    Regards.

    Hi,

    In SEPM 12.1 pre-defined notifications are configured.

    If definitions are older than 7 days it will send email notifications.

    Hi

    The anti-virus software is managed by other team in other country. In our servers we only install this software, all definition and update are controlled  by them. Because this i need to check if everything is updated if not i need to ask why the AV and proactive threat protection are not updated. To check AV i have found the registry key that give me the date that is show when i open the client. I need to do the same to the other protection that i have. If can not do this by registry there is any file in the system that contain that information?
