Active Script: Check Symantec End Point v11 and 12 def's

Post by SplanK »

I have made a quick script which interrogates the AV definition date for Symantec End Point v11 and v12 anti virus.

The test returns under reply "Last Update: DD/MM/YYYY"
Test will go bad if definitions are older than 1 day old, or if there is no AV file found.

Code: Select all

Option Explicit

const statusAlive       = "Host is alive:"
const statusDead        = "No answer:"
const statusUnknown     = "Unknown:"
const statusNotResolved = "Unknown host:"
const statusOk          = "Ok:"
const statusBad         = "Bad:"
const statusBadContents = "Bad contents:"

FUNCTION PerformTest()
	Dim VirusDat, oFile, oLine, oUpdateDefDate
	Dim FirstChar, EndChar, NumberofChars
	Dim oFSO
	Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 

	VirusDat = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\CurrentVersion\Data\Definitions\VirusDefs\definfo.dat"
	
	'Maybe AV ver 11?	
	If NOT oFSO.FileExists(VirusDat) Then
		VirusDat = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\definfo.dat"
	End If

	

	If oFSO.FileExists(VirusDat) Then
		Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile(VirusDat)
		Do Until oFile.AtEndofStream
			oLine = oFile.ReadLine
			If InStr(oLine, "CurDefs=") > 0 Then
				FirstChar = InStr(oLine, "CurDefs=") + 8
				EndChar = InStr(FirstChar, oLine, ".")
				NumberofChars = EndChar - FirstChar
				oUpdateDefDate = Mid(oLine, FirstChar, NumberofChars)
				oUpdateDefDate = Mid(oUpdateDefDate, 7, 2) & "/" & Mid(oUpdateDefDate, 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(oUpdateDefDate, 1, 4)
				
				If DateDiff("d", oUpdateDefDate, Now) > 1 Then
					PerformTest = statusBad+"Last Update: " & oUpdateDefDate
				Else
					PerformTest = statusOk+"Last Update: " & oUpdateDefDate
				End If

			End If
		Loop
	Else
			PerformTest = statusBad+"No File"
	End If

		

end Function
