I've created a query to determine which machines don't have Symantec End Protection installed but it doesn't seem to be working.
Depending on the computer the installation could exist in either of the locations mentioned in the script. Seems to be a simple query but it's listing computers that DO have the program installed. Why isn't this working?

((NOT EXISTS <File> "C:\program files\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\smc.exe" or NOT EXISTS <File> "c:\program files\symantec antivirus\smc.exe"))

Try this

(NOT EXISTS "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\smc.exe") OR (NOT EXISTS "C:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus\smc.exe")

I think you would want to use "And" vs "Or" since you need both locations to be "clean" or it would be possible for Symantec Endpoint to be installed. Correct?

Sorry, I meant to change that to AND before submitting it and forgot.
