Hello folks! Quick question! How do I verify that the Antivirus policy I just created has been successfully installed and applied to the targeted devices?

I usually start by checking the Action History under Manage > Device. If the Associate policy action shows Success, that’s my first confirmation. But I don’t stop there, I also look at whether the device is listed under the policy’s assigned group.

For me, the most reliable way is to open the policy details page and confirm that the targeted devices are listed as associated. Sometimes admins forget to save the policy after editing, so I double-check that too.

kinda prefer verifying directly on the endpoint itself. I check the local agent or client logs to see if the Antivirus settings match the policy configuration.

I guess another method is to run a compliance report. If the device shows as compliant with the Antivirus baseline, that’s a strong indicator the policy is applied correctly.

Success criteria for me means more than just ‘Success’ in the console. I want to seeMaybe the device listed under the policy association or the logs on the endpoint confirming receipt of the policy. Only then do I consider the policy truly applied.
