SCCM 2012 Endpoint Protection Definition Update

Hi Guys, can you please help me out with this, some of the clients are not pulling or seeing the latest definition updates from the server.
What do I check?

Again - Start with the EndpointProtectionAgent.log file on the clients

  • SCCM 2012 Endpoint Protection initial update not downloaded

    Hi,
    I'm new to SCCM 2012. I recently started deploying the Endpoint  Protection to all of clients (Windos 7 and XP Pro). 
    I've noticed that some clients have not been updating their initial definitions after the Endpoint Protection Software is installed. 
    Since they are not updating their detonation the client remains unprotected with the status icon in red.
    The odd thing is that some of our computers do the initial update just fine while others are effected. 
    Also if I click update manually then the update goes through no issue, but with 100+ clients not updated its not something I want to do manually. 
    The clients are set to receive auto updates via a auto deployment rule. 
    Also the antimalware policy is set to do updates as well in this order: 
    Config Mgr
    WSUS
    Microsoft Malware Protection Center
    Microsoft Update
    Has anyone seen this before? 
    If I need to upload any specific logs just let me know. 
    Many Thanks

    Do you have Software update configured (and working) thru ConfigMgr or using a standalone WSUS?

  • Log file for manual download Endpoint Protection Definition Updates

    Hi,
    I am downloading manually endpoint protection definition updates from SCCM 2012 R2, which log file I have to check for download progress.
    Regards,
    Manzoor Ahmed

    If you are downloading updates manually you will need to have an alternate source other than ConfigMgr for definition updates.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2831244?wa=wsignin1.0
    Here is a list of the logs for SCEP.
    http://chadstech.net/scep-2012-client-log-files/
    The logs depend on which sources you have set for updates, if you have updates coming from windows update or WSUS then you could look at WindowsUpdate.log

  • SCCM 2012 - Force first definition updates using a DP

    Could I force to download FEP definitions after install FEP Client ??
    I only use SCCM infraestructure as source. (Not WSUS, Not Internet). I need that SCCM client download first definition updates inmediataly after install FEP Client. On SCCM 2007 I used WSUS to download FEP definition and it was faster...

  • 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.
    For more details, please refer to:

  • Endpoint Protection Definition Update Source

    I need to determine where an Endpoint Protection Client is getting updates from, whether it's the SCCM server, WSUS, or Microsoft's Windows Update. Is there a log file somewhere that I could use to determine that information?
    Vincent Sprague

    Have a look in C:Windows\Windowsupdate.log.

  • SCCM 2012 EndPoint Protection migration

    I have the old ConfigMgr 2012 name " BACKOFFICE" it is currently managing all the EndPoint Protection for all workstations/servers.
    I now have new ConfigMgr 2012 called "SCCM"  I just installed ForeFront EndPoint Protection and configured the Custom Client Deviec EndPoint Protection to roll out to workstations. What is the best practice to remove old ForeFront EndPoint
    Protection client from old site name and install new one?
    1. Do I have to manually uninstall EndPoint Client in control panel for each computer? or is there a way to just uninstall for all computers using the old COnfigMgr 2012 "BACKOFFICE"
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi !
    You have to reassign the desired clients.
    It can be scripted:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc146558.aspx
    Otherwise, you could install again the client on your targets, with the following options: force install and site assignement.
    You can refer to this link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx
    Hope this helps.

  • SCCM 2012 - Endpoint Protection Reporting only using static end date

    I have created a subscription to the Endpoint Protection/Antimalware Activity Report built into SCCM2012/Endpoint Protection.
    My problem is that I am having trouble getting the dates to work correctly.  I want to have the report automaticlly emailed out every monday morning with the status from the last 7 days (i.e. since the last monday report). 
    However the subscription seems to want a static end date.  That is, every monday when the report runs it gives me a status report from the exact same 7 days.  Not the most recent 7 days. 
    How do I go about changing this so it is useful and that every monday it runs, the report it creates/sends is from the the last 7 days?

    I hope this helps (I am still testing it) but I did this by:-
    "Editing" the default report such as "Antimalware activity report".
    To avoid corrupting this default report before you change anything select SaveAs and call it something like "Antimalware activity report
    for the last 7 days".
    Open Datasets, StartEndDates and replace the query with this for the last 7 days
    "select DATEADD(day,datediff(day,0,GetDate())- 7,0) as StartDate, DATEADD(day,datediff(day,0,GetDate()),0) as EndDate"
    Then open Parameters, StartDate and under General change it to "Hidden".
    Then open Parameters, EndDate and under General change it to "Hidden".
    Save and test
    I had to set the "default value" on each parameter, per Lillonel:
    StartDate : =DateAdd("d",-7,Globals!ExecutionTime)
    EndDate : =Globals!ExecutionTime
    It looks like it is using a 7 day window now.

  • Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

    Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
    I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
    System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
    Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the  Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
    Regards,

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
    fee I recommend you assume as that it is
    not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
    For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved.  At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
    Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
    When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you.  I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

  • System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection - any user may reboot Windows Server

    Hello,
    I've got System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection client installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. I've just noticed that if System Center Endpoint Protection detects some malware that requires system restart in order to successfully clean it,
    the notification will be seen by all logged users on Terminal Server and if anyone will press on "Restart" than the Server will reboot even if User hasn't the required permission and I think this is totally unacceptable, Microsoft has to do something
    about it. In all situations only an Administrator should have the right to restart the Server.
    Please fix this issue asap, thank you.

    While there is no setting that just controls the 'SCEP needs to reboot', there are other settings that might help.
    Have you tried setting "Disable the client user interface" to Yes on the antimalware policy?  How about "Show notifications messages..."?  I don't have a way to reproduce the behavior you were seeing, but maybe you can give it a shot.
    I understand why Microsoft would want to give non-admin users a prompt to reboot a machine that needs it to remove malware.  This is the typical scenario for most workstations. However, your exception with a terminal server is definitely something that
    needs a workaround. 
    If you put in Connect feedback asking for a discreet setting to control this, please post a link to it.
    I hope that helps,

  • Can I get the detecting malware alert by System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure RemoteApp ?

    Can I get the detecting malware alert by System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure RemoteApp ?
    I want to get the alert and cleanup malware and alert our Azure RemoteApp users.
    the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection exist Azure Virtual Machine gallery "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host”.
    I test the behavior of System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection by TrendMicro Malware sample "EICAR".
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Thank you Pavithra for reply.
    I have 3 points for alerting users and admins of Azure RemoteApp template image.
    point 1: Fix action.
      When the user detect a malware, There are some reasons,
      like viewing a malicious web site, like using the vulnerable applications.
      The User must fix his action in Azure RemoteApp session.
      "Hey, the reason is that you open this web site, Don't open this web site"
    point 2: Fix server.
      When the user detect a malware, ITpro of Azure RemoteApp fix the current Azure Virtual Machine of Azure RemoteApp.
      There may be infected with other malwares.
      ITpro need to fix the current Azure Virtual Machine of Azure RemoteApp before infecting other users.
      "Hey, This Azure RemoteApp collection will update with the template image after ten minutes."
    point 3: Fix damage.
      When the user detect a malware, ITpro of Azure RemoteApp research the damage of all system,
      like whether or not sent the infected email to other persons by other malware,
      like whether or not broken other related systems by other malwares.
      "Hey, Are other systems OK ?"

  • System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection manual scan from UNC

    We run SCCM 2012 R2, and 2012 Endpoint protection on a few servers.  I tried navigating to a UNC path, then right clicking and selecting 'Scan with System CEnter endpoint protection", but when doing so I get Scan completed on 0 items, regardless
    of the folder size I select.
    Is it not possible to scan a UNC path manually with SCEP 2012?

    Hi,
    I think this is by design. There is no options from Antimalware Policies in console to control this.
    You could also have a look at the following thread.

  • How effective is System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection for Windows?

    Hi,
    Is there any thing out there that compares how effective System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection is compared to other AV / Malware solutions?    I have read where MS Security Essentials comes up short of the level of protection compared to
    other solutions.  
    Thanks Lance

    Didn't mean to propose that MS love (yes we all know that you love MS Jason) post as an answer to your question.
    Truth is SCEP may be good at how it works, it doesn't whine to users and it integrates to ConfigMgr. That's where it's good at.  And I get Jason's point there, I'd just like to know what are those "other products" that haven't found the malware
    when SCEP did? MS may gather telemetry, but so do all the other players.
    There are several companies that do ONLY and ONLY AV products so they put their 100% effort in them, I don't think that AV is the business priority number 1 for MS.
    Check this:
    http://lifehacker.com/microsoft-admits-that-third-party-antivirus-is-more-eff-1441135677
    And for your info Security Essentials uses the same AV engine that SCEP does.
    If you want REAL protection, tested in the REAL world, I suggest you read some reviews of the products.

    --- ADVERT (I don't think it's illegal here, eh Jason?)
    I'd go with F-Secure, it's not that expensive and you get some neat features like USB (or any other device for that matter) blocker. And yes, it can be configured to use individual USB sticks and so on..
