Paul, This is precisely the same type of thing that I discussed a while back. Symantec SHOULD have something like this, but they don't. What they do have is the ability to do the migration through the use of their command line, but it would have to be scripted by you to do it. You men

I think that Jeff has the right idea here. Building an exclude list for things that cause a status 1 can be very helpful to you if you are in a S-OX environment. I guess I'd have to modify my "review it once and ignore them after that..." position. If you review the status 1's on a re

Ah yes...but wouldn't it be nice to just have a Symantec-supplied utility that would do the job for us. There are several CLI commands that will do the job, but you have to put them all together to get what you want when you are setting up a policy (the scheduling part is the worst of them with th
