Yes I meant servers, not clients. Although, I might check a client or two per LAN as a way to confirm that the clients are getting their updates from the parent server. As for the action/alert, I had not really thought that far. For now, all I am after is a way to check the version and date of the antivirus definitions and display that info to my existing SA generated web page(s). Perhaps the check would compare the retrieved date of the definitions to an age the user configured. e.g. If AV def dates retrieved by SA older than 7 days then action/alert.

"How about the ability to query the state of anti virus products (Symantec)? I'd like to be able to check that AV software running on server X is running definitions version Y dated Z. Yes, I know that there is some combination of add-on products and scripts that would do this for me, but that's not why I use SA. If I could or wanted to code, I wouldn't need SA." => this would mean that IF there is an updated AV definition and your servers (I suppose you want to check AV server and not all the clients!) do have the update that SA could start giving all downs...just because you didn't update the AV version on SA yet. Wouldn't that give more trouble then good?
