Yes - that is exactly what I want, except I wanted it without having to utilize VB to parse the aswdefs.ini. The last time I tried this was a year or two ago when Avast 5 first came out. The VB script I had then caused BGINFO.exe to hang, so I gave up on it. I decided to have another look at it today after I initially posted if anything had been updated, and managed to figure it out. It still isn't ideal (having to utilize a VB script), but it will work.
We also use Symantec Corporate Edition (10.2.4) and Symantec Endpoint Protection (11.0.6 MR2) at a lot of client sites, and for them we are able to pull the current definition files directly from the registry without having to deal with VB.
Basically, if you have a look at the last picture I posted prior to this post, you'll see what the output on my desktop looks like. This is what we want when we connect to a remote end user machine (we also usually show their DNS & DHCP servers there too). This usually saves us a bunch of time in remote troubleshooting by being able to see all that info right there. How many times has an end user told you they rebooted their machine, only to find out after lots of troubleshooting they didn't actually reboot it? This allows to very quickly see the status of the machines (including the antivirus definition dates), independent of what the end user tells you.
