This notification didn’t exist in Sygate or even early SEP.īecause of some ugly growing pains and defects with the product and definition creation, delta, client side bugs requesting the wrong definitions, etc, it was a feature\enhancement request that was added to help give a SEPM admin a heads up that something might be wrong.
When we brought in AV/AS and other protection technologies and merged the products “Protection Definitions were added”. The manager only handed out new Firewall policies. Back then, the manager was just a Policy Manager and didn’t distribute definitions or content.
PUSH mode existed in the product long before it was SEP. Assess the proper configuration, hardware, and network architecture necessary for your network environment. For example, if you want to update policies and gather logs on a daily basis, then you might set the heartbeat frequency to 24 hours. Symantec recommends that you use the longest interval that still meets your company’s security requirements. For deployments of 1,000 clients or more, Symantec recommends that you set the heartbeat frequency to the maximum length of time possible. If you set a heartbeat frequency to 30 minutes or less, it limits the total number of clients that Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager can support. We're getting to my question: Can I safely delete the old definitions folders from the VirusDefs folder? And where could I set the setting to only keep the latest three virus definitons, like in the virusdefs32 folder.The heartbeat frequency is a key factor in the number of clients that each Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager can support. Since this folder only contains three folders it would seem the settings of SEPM are applied here. This folders is about 1,2GB and contains three subfolders like "20130110.005". There are about 16 of such folders in the VirusDefs folder, which is weird because I've set in the SEPM settings to only keep the last 3.Ĭ:\ProgramData\Symantec\Definitions\SymcData\virusdefs32 I've run a scan with TreeSize to see what's taking up all the space and I've noticed this:Ĭ:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint The server has a limited amount of diskspace, and they are starting to run out. Also, the Symantec Endpoint Protection client is installed on the server (same version). On a Windows SBS 2008 server we have Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installed (version 12.1.671.4971).
