    I have found one of the document which shows that we able to change the sep_inst.log location.

    Is it possible for other logs?

    I have read your articles it shows that we can change the installation folder path.

    Please confirm.

    Hi,

    I have attached SEP client installation process guide.

    It will only offer you to change the default installation folder of a Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client is within C:\Program Files\ (or C:\Program Files (x86)).

    Scan logs are accessible via SEP client GUI as well.

    Few logs location is hard coded, refer this article to see those locations.

    Why you need to do it? If it is matter of disk space, you can also change the client logs retention settings, they will still be uploaded to the SEPM where you may store and read them for a longer time than in the client itself.
