Export Symantec client details

I believe these below are close to what you looking for and it stated there is no way to automatically create and save a specific report in .csv format either via SEPM or Protection Center. There is some script and even drilling into database schema query to overcome that though. Good if you can look at the links where it is from the log to get the info..

"Export to CSV/txt file monitors tab logs SEP Manager"

"Export SEPM reports to CSV or Excel"

In the same light if a report can be generated with the info and from there export it out, it is another way (manual though). Some of the available reports are as stated in below. E.g. under "Computer Status Reports", it includes "Client Inventory". This may need some "playing" around to see if it can target specific client.

Note earlier there is link leading to the below too

I was even thinking probably the copy and paste into excel may be a quicker method if the machine is small list, it is tedious but may be rudimentary to worth the tie comparing to searching the ideal solution.

Have the support to address or even post to the Symantec forum to get some advice too since the newer version may have further enhancement already, I doubt we are the first

1)Ok to be specific about what I want to do. When I go to clients if I select the top level "my company" there are no clients displayed under client status. I have to drill down further and select the sub folders for clients to display.. is this correct or should I be able to see all clients in sub folders by selecting the top level folder.

2)On a folder that does have clients if I select client system from the drop down it displays all the required information that I want but how do I export this information.

If I can find this out then I have everything I need.

I think I found what I need using the reports section, select computer status as report type, then select client inventory for select a report and set a date of a few weeks to capture all machines. It gives a nice graph to a mht format.
The question is how to get more granular reporting like being able to get all XP machines with their IP addresses and export to a CSV file.

As in my earlier post, the symantec tech support already shared there is no way to automatically create and save a specific report in .csv format either via SEPM or Protection Center. The report as also mentioned in the posting does have the computer status but not any further granularity.

If i will to extract below from the posting in forum as below

Exporting log data
You have several choices for exporting the data in your logs. You can export the data in some logs to a comma-delimited text file. You can export other logs' data to a tab-delimited text file that is called a dump file or to a Syslog server. Log data export is useful if you want to accumulate all logs from your entire network in a centralized location. Log data export is also useful if you want to use a third-party program such as a spreadsheet to organize or manipulate the data. You also might want to export the data in your logs before you delete log records.

When you export log data to a Syslog server, you must configure the Syslog server to receive those logs. To forward logs to third-party programs, you need to have the third-party program installed and on the network. For example, you can use Microsoft Excel to open the exported log files. Each field appears in a separate column, a separate log record in each line.

Note:  You cannot restore the database by using exported log data.

There is another earlier link but this touch schema though but I believe it can give you the granularity provided we know the schema
