Remove system center endpoint protection (scep) from clients

Hi,
I enabled scep for my whole domain, now I would like to remove some clients of smaller servers which have less performance (also specific template policy for performance scep didn't help).
I created a new client setting in which I enabled the scep for a specific collection only, the default has no scep enabled.
However, scep is not uninstalled for clients which are not member of the specific collection.
Please advise howto remove scep clients.

One more thing, off the record, do you need to create auto deployment rules of SCEP, according to windows-noob.com you do.

Somewhere else I see that updates are done automatically (CBT Nuggets instruction video of SCEP install).
These updates are slowing down my machines: although I selected superseded: no, in updates, it downloads day per day definition updates and applies them. Whereas I would think it downloads only the latest definition file ....

Manage System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) policies for Internet-based clients

Hi,
I've recently change my SCCM configuration in order to allow internet-based clients registered in our domain to communicate with our primary site server. The objectives were to let us manage the SCEP policies of these clients and receive alerts
when they're infected even when they are on the road, so not connected to the local network.
Now, everything seems to be in place; PKI certificates for server and client, the DNS is configured, firewall route too...but I still cannot update the policies of my client when it's not connected to the local network.
I'm able to reach my primary site from my client when connected outside the network, but the policies won't update until I connect to the local network.
Is it actually possible to manage the policies and receive alerts from internet-based clients like I'm trying to do?
Thank you very much for your help

It's going to come down to log checking at this point to find where the failure is happening or the connection is not happening.
Initiate a machine policy refresh and watch the two logs noted above.
CAS.log may also be helpful as well as locationservices.log and clientlocation.log.
Try deploying an app as well and watch the logs.
Also, if the client is not properly getting policy, there's no way for it to know that you disabled client CRL checking on the site.

Ok so now I see an error in clientlocation.log that might be the cause of my problem.
[Domain joined client is in Internet]
[Rotating internet management point, new management point is : SERVER.DOMAIN.COM ...
[Unable to retrieve AD forest + domain membership] <- Pretty sure this is related to my issue
I guess it's because my AD schema is not extended, is that right?
EDIT: I thought this was the issue, but the AD schema seems to be extended already. Any idea of what could cause this error?
EDIT: Do I need to open ports in order for my client to be able to reach the AD or something? I thought that was the MP's job once we granted him full control access on the AD. Am I wrong?

Manual installing the full updates works.

I also cannot manually delete this folder, after a fresh reboot there is no more Install folder.

I know this is an old post, but I've seen this several times on client pc's. Seems to happen only with .NET updates, it'll install one, then fail the rest. Windowsupdate.log file shows WARNING: Failed to delete old install directory
at C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\Install. This may block future installs.   It seems like concurrent installs fail because of this folder, and like the OP, when I reboot, that folder is gone and I can install the next update, which fails
the remaining updates, and then we repeat the process. This actually happened to me today new pc build, installed .net 4.0, .NET updates fail with error code 80070005. Yes, I'm logged in with an admin account. Anyone have any suggestions?
I can post log files or whatever if needed.

No System Center Endpoint Protection on my Windows 8.1 client?

I'm trying to install the SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client on a test Windows 8.1 computer. The client install seems to go well, components install and enable but I do not see the System Center Endpoint Protection tool in the tool tray on the 8.1
client like I see on Windows 7.
How can I check to see if SCEP is installed and working?
Thanks,
FP

Hi,
In addition, you also need to install Endpoint Protection Point role to manage SCEP clients.

Windows 10 in SCCM 2012/SCEP (system center endpoint protection)

I have been able to put my test machine into SCCM 2012 R2. But it seems that SCEP won't work, this is the message:
System Center Endpoint Protection cannot be installed on your operating system. Windows Program Compatibility mode is not supported by this program. <a>For information about supported operating systems, see the online Help</a>. Error code:0x8004FF71.
Will we be able to test SCEP in any of the upcoming versions?

I have the same situation during a pre pilot phase in a customer environment, but still no sulution

System Center Endpoint Protection creates TEMP Folders / Reinstallation not possible

Hi all,
After I updated from SCCM 2012 RTM to SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 I have an issue on several Servers, which havin System Center Endpoint Protection 2012 installed (provided through SCCM Agent).
There are hourly Temp Folders created in C:\Windows\...:
The Temp-Folders are including SCEP 2012 Content...
This files are filling up my System drive C:\. I always have to delte those files.
I think System Center Endpoint Protection is trying to reinstall or update itself, and failes...
If I try to uninstall "System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection" manually from the sever, i get the following popup (file not found):
I cannot find the correct Version of this msi-File "fepclient.msi", so I click Cancel, and then I get the Error 0x8007064C (Cannot complete uninstall wizard).
I have this Problem on 4 different Servers right now (FileServer, two Citrix Server, SCCM-Server).
I tried several steps on the SCCM Server:
- Manual Uninstall
- Re-Installation with "scepinstall.exe" from the SCCM Client Source (same error)
- Re-Installation from SCCM Console (Push)
I am not getting rid of this error... I do not want to delete registry keys and testing arround because this are productive Servers... Any ideas how to resolve this one???
If you Need more Details about the infrastructure / OS, just ask.
Patrik

Reinstalling the SCCM Agent did not help to get any additional log-Information.
But I did no found a log-file in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client\Support\MSSecurityClient_Setup_4.5.216.0_epp_install.log
I find the following warnings / Errors:
TEMP Folder which is created in C:\Windows\...:
MSI-Missing:
But that does not really help me...

Hi,
Yes you can install the Endpoint Protection Client in the image, the process for doing this is described here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn236350.aspx You can configure it manually to use Windows Update as the source for definition updates before the imaging as well then you should
be good to go.

System Center Endpoint Protection Antimalware client version - wont upgrade

Hi
Running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 on Server A. Endpoint Protection role on Server B. Both Servers 2008 R2. there is only one primary site server and no secondary sites in the hierarchy.
All clients are Windows 7.
The SCEP client is not upgrading on clients as I would have expected. After enabling the automatic client upgrade option in site hierarchy settings I found all the clients upgraded their SCCM agent. I was expecting the SCEP client to be upgraded also. Machines
have been rebooted since the SCCM agent upgrade.
How can I go about upgrading the SCEP agent on all computers?
Many thanks

Hi Daniel
I can't find this file in %programfiles%\microsoft configuration manager\logs, or %programfiles%\sms_ccm\logs. Can you tell me where this log file is?
I think I sorted the issue, some of the boundaries weren't in a boundary group. Now some of the SCEP agents are upgrading. There are still some issues but I guess I'll do some reinstalls and see if I can resolve this this way.
Common installation issues I'm seeing are 0x8004FF91 or 0x8000ffff,
for example. These are found in the c:\windows\ccm\logs\EndpointProtectionAgent.log on the clients.
Thanks

System Center Endpoint Protection Licensing?

Hi there,
I want to implement System Center 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection in the business. We have a Silver membership, so we do have the license for System Center 2012 R2. What I don't get is if Endpoint protection is separate or not from a licensing point of view.
Do we have to pay for subscriptions or not? And how much? It's just confusing because Microsoft doesn't make it clear. Sure I can install SCCM....but that is pointless if I can't use Endpoint Protection.
Thx in advance

Hi,
About SCEP, it depends upon the client ML you purchased, is either included or additional.
You could find more information from the following link.

System Center Endpoint Protection

How can processes or files be excluded via a wildcard? In FEP you could simply type in a filename (i.e. blah.exe) and it would be excluded. SCCM 2012 doesn't seem to support excluding with just a name, it wants a full path. I tried %blah.exe%
however that doesn't seem to exclude it.

System Center Endpoint Protection updates not applying to DirectAccess clients

Hi
I have W2008R2 SP2 with SCCM2012R2 CU3 server.
We started testing DirectAccess. All other updates (Windows, Skype, Adobe) are applying except SCEP.
Initiating policies from laptop did not helped.
DirectAccess subnet is in boundary list.
Computer account is in correct collection. SCEP only updates when laptop is on LAN.
Where to look to resolve this problem?

Yes, the boundaries that you put in SCCM which specify your DirectAccess client computers must be the IP addresses they are using, which are the IPv6 addresses given to them via their DA transition technologies (6to4, Teredo, IP-HTTPS). Depending on how
you setup DirectAccess, you may only have some of these available for the clients to utilize. If your DA server is sitting behind a NAT, or if you used the "Getting Started Wizard" to setup DA, then only IP-HTTPS is available to your DA clients and
that is how they are all connecting. In that case you should only need to add the IP-HTTPS IPv6 prefix.
You can use this info to calculate the prefixes, or you can check in the SCCM agent on the client machine, I believe in the section where it shows you the heartbeat it will also show you the current prefix that your client is utilizing:
First Public IPv4=WW.XX.YY.ZZ (address on the DA server)
2001:0:WWXX:YYZZ::/64 (Teredo)
2002:WWXX:YYZZ:8100::/56 (IP-HTTPS)
2002:WWXX:YYZZ:8000::/49 (organizational prefix)
2002:WWXX:YYZZ:8000::/64 (ISATAP)
2002:WWXX:YYZZ:8001::/96 (NAT64/DNS64)

System Center Endpoint Protection Definition Updates

Hi can anyone advise deploying definitions via SCCM 2012 and selecting the source as being "Updates distributed from Configuration Manager" does that mean each client will go to the Primary Site to get updates? Or by using ADR will it ensure that
definitions come via distribution points?
Also another question, as sccm 2012 is not rolled out to all sites yet, and will be deploying unmanaged clients, when I deploy the SCEP client offline un-managed with a policy file, is there a way then later to change policy on the client by command line?

You could configure updating SCEP in many ways, including:
Updates distributed from Configuration Manager – This method uses Configuration Manager software updates to deliver definition and engine updates to computers in your hierarchy.
Updates distributed from Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) – This method uses your WSUS infrastructure to deliver definition and engine updates to computers.
Updates distributed from Microsoft Update – This method allows computers to connect directly to Microsoft Update in order to download definition and engine updates. This method can be useful for computers that are not often connected to the business network.
Updates distributed from Microsoft Malware Protection Center – This method will download definition updates from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center.
Updates from UNC file shares – With this method, you can save the latest definition and engine updates to a share on the network. Clients can then access the network to install the updates.

ISE 1.2 Posture assessment (AV) system center endpoint

the cisco NAC web agent can't detect AV (system center endpoint protection) is updated although it is updated.
by troubleshooting , it seems it is related to Windows 8.1 as i tested the same AV on another machine Windows 7 and it is working.
any body faced this issue?

Support for Windows 8.1
Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.9(3) along with Cisco NAC Windows Agent 4.9.3.9 and Cisco NAC Web Agent Version 4.9.3.7 supports Microsoft Windows 8.1. See Also Patch Supporting Windows 8.1 and Mac OS X 10.9.
In a Windows 8.1 client, in the metro mode, the NAC Agent shortcuts are available in the Apps screen instead of the Start screen.
For a Windows 8.1 client machine, while configuring the user pages in CAM web console, if you have selected the web client as 'Java Applet Only' and enabled the 'Use web client to detect client MAC address and Operating System' option, then the client Operating System might be detected as Windows 8. While using Applet for Windows 8.1, configure the user page with WINDOWS_ALL. See Also CSCuj59700.

VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?
