Hi There,
I have been a NIS user since it was first released by Symantec, I just upgraded today to NIS 2009 and was disappointed to find that you guys have abandoned ccLgView.exe viewer (I think its been replaced with MCUI32.exe or something like that). My question is how do I got about exporting the log files using the command line (for automation). Please tell me there is a way to this in NIS 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike thanks for saving the day… Could you please tell me if there is documentation regarding the switches for the export logs, i would like to figure out how to seprate the categories not to mention clear out the logs from the command line.

iasrar,
I don't believe there's a lot of documentation on the switches, since we mostly just use them internally - so the syntax and functionality are subject to change in future releases. We're always trying to make improvements to Security History.
To answer your questions, there's no way to delete the logs from the command line - the UI is the only way to do this.
You can seperate the categories by index using the /category switch. The index is the category's location in the dropdown:
1) Recent History
2) Full History
3) Firewall - Network and Connections
4) Firewall - Activities
etc..
So, for example, to export "Firewall - Activities":
MCUI32.exe /export "c:\path\to\file.txt" /category 4
And for "Norton Community Watch":
MCUI32.exe /export "c:\path\to\file.txt" /category 16
Regards,
Mike
