SCEP 2012 Definitions only updating 50% of servers

Hiya,
We have SCCM 2012 R2 installed with a SUP and use an ADR to deliver Definitions 3 times a day. We're gradually migrating servers from our existing WSUS infrastructure to SCCM for monthly patching/AV defs.
Since 27.04.14 about half the servers (around 200) have failed to update their AV definitions and are stuck on version 1.173.658.0 (the majority, but not all). I've been comparing servers with up to date defs and those without but I can't see why they're
not working. In C:\Windows\CCMcache I just see a folder created for 28.04.14 for the next def but no file in there.
The non-working servers have;
1. The same AM policies applied
2. The same client settings applied
3. They're in the same site/use same DP
4. The same SCEP version (4.3.220.0)
5. The same SCCM client (5.00.7958.1000 - SP2 client)
6. Checked they're in the collection the ADR applies to
7. Log files show they're pointing to SCCM server and have same GPO settings as working servers
8. WUAgent is the same version
I've trawled through the SCCM client logs, used MpCmdRun.exe
-getfiles and looked through those but can't see any errors.
Of note, the WUAHandler.log shows the last update getting installed but then subsequent scans run, complete and there are no further "Update (Missing): Definition Update for Microsoft Endpoint Protection" entries.
Any help gratefully received!
Thanks

Ok still no joy unfortunately.
Checked the CAS/ContentAccess/ContentTransferManager/DataTransferService logs on an updated server and non-updated server and the only difference I see is this on the non-updated server;
DataTransferService.log
QUEUE: Error restarting queued DTS job {0A28D485-63C0-4C43-B942-7ECD4BFAE938}. Code 0x87d00215

Error sending callback notification for DTS job {76FF03FC-D576-4F1D-9F6E-0EB7F187A2B7}
Comparing the WUAHandler.logs shows below;

I Couldn't find much on the "Failed to find update" error but from this point i don't see any "1. Update (Missing): Definition Update.." entries since 26.04.14 for the non-updating servers, but it does show the async searching and scans
completing.
Also, working machines have 2 or 3 folders per ADR deployment in the C:\Windows\CCMcache containing files called AM_Delta_Patch_1.173.1491.0.exe etc. but non-working ones have folders with one AM_Delta.exe and 5 or 6 empty folders with the same date.
Was thinking i'd locate the old defs in All Software Updates but they only go back as far as defs released on 30.04.14 so am a bit stumped!
Thanks

  • SCEP 2012 definitions not updating on few clients

    Hi!
    The SCEP 2012 definitions are not updating on few clients. It works for all other machines.
    In MPLog i can only see that Signature update on date but not a line saying Signature updated via ...
    Its not telling me where it got the updates in past and why its not updating now..
    The definitions are pushed via SCCM, WSUS and MS not unc shares.
    Which log file i should look for to get some answers why its not updating.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can check C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log file to find the related error information.
    In addition, did you configure an automatic deployment rule to deliver definition updates? If yes, I recommend you to make sure that all the clients are in the collection.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • SCEP 2012 definition updates makes no sense

    Hi, i´m trying to figure out how SCEP updates are working, we are evaluating SCEP on some servers and workstations at the moment and some clients have the latest updates, some have one version old, and som have even older.
    For example.
    This morning at 04:00 we had an SUP sync and a ADR was created at 04:02 with definition version 1.169.1999.0.
    Today at 10:27 one of the clients updated its definition, but to version 1.169.1904.0. Why did it choose an old update? Several clients had already updated to the .1999 version. And why so late? Our antimalware policy is set to check for updates every 1 hour.
    The computer powered on at 07:45.
    I have looked in the MPlog.log file, but it doesnt make sense either, according to one machine it updated to definition v.1.169.1258.0 mars 31. it is the latest record, but when i check SCEP gui on that machine it have updated to 1.169.2028.0 today.
    What am i missing?
    Regards Erik

    1: And with this configuration all your clients gets all definitions that MS releases during a day?
    It looks to me with that config that you will only get definitions that releases before 5AM and then if it arrives 2 more definitions that day you will not recieve them until the next day. is that correct?
    2&3: Yeah, i need to do more trouble shooting, yesterday before I went home i made sure that we used Client Notification and that the FW port was open. I set antimalware policy to: update interval: 0. Two sources (configmgr and ms update). Daily update
    check at 12 AM. And force to look outside ConfigMgr if no definitions have come within 24 hours from the last update.
    It still goes outside to update definitions from MS Update.
    I have now set "If ConfigMgr is used as a source for definition updates, clients will only update form alternative source if a definition is older than _ hours" to 720, so hopefully it will start getting updates from only ConfigMgr so i see that it
    works.
    5: The SCEP ADR is targeted to a collection that includes two other collections.
    Client collection: A query that gets all windows 8.1 workstations.
    Server collection: A query that gets group membership from Active Directory
    6: One more thing, how is it about multiple antimalware policys? we have the default policy at order 10000 and then we have an others at order 1 and 2. For server the default and the one at order 2 active. both have different definition updates entries, but
    the one i want to win is in the policy with order 2. the policy with order 2 will always win, right?

  • SCEP 2012 Definition Updates for Linux machines thru SCCM

    We have a situation where SCEP definition needs to be updated on Linux machines which don't have access to internet.
    All I have read is that SCEP functions as stand alone for Linux & Mac machines. Can someone guide thru how do SCEP definitions get updated on Linux machines that are not connected to internet.

    Pls check the below link
    http://www.niallbrady.com/2013/02/22/how-can-i-deploy-system-center-2012-endpoint-protection-definition-updates-from-a-unc-file-shares/

  • SCEP 2012 and GP Update

    SCEP 2012 Client settings currently have "Install Endpoint Protection client on computers" set to Yes. This is deployed to quite a few machines. The client installs just fine, everything updates, and we are set. In the Endpoint Protection Agent
    log shows periodic checks for if SCEP needs to be installed. Which technically isn't an issue and eventually I'll flip this setting to No and leave it Manage only.
    However, around the times it checks the client I notice a GP Update kicking off. Does anyone know if installing SCEP or having the client check to see if it is installed kicks off a GP Update?

    Interesting. I didn't think to check that specific log. I do see activity in there for other GP objects besides SCEP. Perhaps it runs the equivalent of gpupdate /target:computer
    I don't think I see any user items in there.
    This reminds me of an issue I ran into before. Take the scenario of a domain joined machine that is currently connecting via the Internet. You have an IBCM server set up, so Internet connected machines are able to receive policy and software. You would think
    that would include changes to SCEP policy too. However, if you make a change to SCEP policy and then try to update policy on the client, it won't actually apply the SCEP policy changes until it's back on the domain. I guess that's because whatever ConfigSecurityPolicy.exe
    is doing requires a connection to be made to a domain controller and even though the SCEP content is stored locally in an XML file, it can't finish the process of getting it into Registry.pol and then into the Registry itself until it can connect to the DC
    again.
    Seems like it would make more sense to just import it directly into the Registry and bypass the GP client entirely. Anyway, I don't mean to hijack the thread but it would be nice to see Microsoft clarify exactly what's going on in both cases :-)

  • SCEP 2012 definition flow check via client logs

    Hi!
    I am looking for some documentation that contains detail information how definitions looks in the logs when client is updating definitions.
    Thanks

    Here's a recent blog post that gives a high-level view of the Windows Update process from a ConfigMgr client's view utilizing a software update point. It's relevant to any software update, but the specific example used in the screenshots is for a SCEP definition
    update, so it might be more along the lines of what you are looking for:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/06/30/configmgr-2012-windows-update-client-process.aspx
    The key log is the WindowsUpdate.log because it will show you the source of update, whether it is coming from ConfigMgr or directly from Microsoft via the Internet (for example).

  • SCEP 2012 definition source location

    Hi!
    Where i can find the exact log entry from where my client updated its last definition.
    I saw some documentation where its pointing to MPlog and in that log i need to search for "signature updated via" in the MPlog but i dont have anything like that in MYlog. I want to see if my clients updated from my internal definitions server,
    Ms site etc.
    Thanks

    Try C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log and search for "Definition Update for Microsoft Endpoint Protection" (or just "endpoint", for example). If it's coming from ConfigMgr, you should see something like
    Agent: Installing updates [CallerId = CcmExec
    and if it's coming directly from Microsoft, you should see the URL it's downloading from.

  • SCEP 2012 manual definitions update for use in OSD

    So I am setting up to deploy SCEP 2012 4.5.0216.0 during my OSD task sequence. I am following the guidelines laid out by the blog post: 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/04/12/operating-system-deployment-and-endpoint-protection-client-installation.aspx.  I have created a package with the scepinstall.exe, EPAMPolicy.xml, and Install.cmd. 
    Note:  I got the EPAMPolicy.xml from a client I let install SCEP the "normal way" by deploying client settings that said to install and manage the client. 
    I added to the EPAMPolicy.xml file:
    <AddValue Name="DisableUpdateOnStartupWithoutEngine" Disabled="false" Type="REG_DWORD">1</AddValue>
    Added it between:
    <AddValue Name="AuGracePeriod" Type="REG_DWORD" Disabled="false">4320</AddValue>"I ADDED THE CODE RIGHT HERE"<AddValue Name="SignatureUpdateInterval" Type="REG_DWORD" Disabled="false">8</AddValue>
    The "Install.cmd" contains:
    "%~dp0scepinstall.exe" /s /q /NoSigsUpdateAtInitialExp /policy "%~dp0EPAMPolicy.xml"
    So these things together install SCEP 2012 version 4.5.0216.0 and
    cancels any definition updates when done installing and when the service first starts up.  When the install finishes the client is RED since I cancelled all updates.  This is WORKING FINE.
    Now I have a package that contains the definition updates "mpam-fe.exe" and "nis_full.exe" as described in the linked blog.  Running the proper 32/64 version of the mpam-fe.exe effectively updates the client Anti-malware definitions
    to the version I have downloaded for that day.  The client now turns GREEN.  This is WORKING FINE.
    The part that is not working is running the Network Inspection Service definitions, "nis_full.exe".  It goes right through like it was fine when run manually, but when you check event log you see it put two errors in Event
    Log.  It also is causing my Task Sequence to fail.
    I questioned how valid the nis_full.exe was anymore since the blog post is not real new...so I found: 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935934.  It is titled, "How to manually download the latest antimalware definition updates for Microsoft Forefront Client Security, Microsoft Forefront Endpoint
    Protection 2010 and Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection".  I verified by downloading using the links given in that article that my files matched hash for hash. 
    In that article it does say if running SCEP 2012 to also install the nis_full.exe as administrator. 
    This is not working!
    Any assistance is appreciated.  Any better way to deploy SCEP during task sequence and definitions WITHOUT scanning for updates during "Install Software Updates" task or letting client go to
    internet?
    Find this post helpful? Does this post answer your question? Be sure to mark it appropriately to help others find answers to their searches.

    Using the supplied EPAMPolicy2.xml did not resolve the issue. I still get an "0x80004005" error when I try to deploy the "nis_full.exe" during my task sequence. The client and malware definitions work as intended and install successfully. The NIS definitions
    fail though.

  • Wsus + Scep 2012 Defenition Updates

    Hi 
    Im using Wsus to manage Pattern file updates for my scep 2012 clients an my proplem is that most Pattern files do get applied to my machines but like today my computers had
    Pattern file (1.185.908.0)  but when I check on Microsoft website they say the latest pattern file is (1.185.926.0) so I
    synced my wsus to see if there where any new files available and it return with nothing new... so I manualy ran "mpam-feX64" and my client got update to (1.185.933.0)  so it seems that my Wsus server is missing every other updates,,
     Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour..  I also tested to let my workstation check online for updates and the result was the same "no new pattern
    files"

    Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour..
    Configured for "every hour" is probably a bit excessive, but much more likely is that you've not properly configured your WSUS server and your WSUS clients to be able to get Definition Updates in a timely manner.
    In addition to synchronizing WSUS at least 3x daily (every 8 hours), you also need to do the following:
    Create an Automatic Approval rule for the Definition Updates update classification for the "All Computers" target group.
    Enable the policy setting "Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation".
    Set the CLIENT Detection Interval to 6 hours.

  • Forefront Endpoint Protection Definitions Not Updated via SCCM (SCCM 2012 SP1)

    Hi All
    We have an issue of FEP definitions not updating correctly.
    1. Clients getting definitions updates from the internet, not SCCM. Any solution?
    2. Currently, we have around 20 workstations installed with FEP but having more than 7 different definitions versions within those. Waited for a couple of days but still not updating.. kind of random.
    Any advice where to check or what is to be done?
    Regards,
    Xavier

    (Assuming you are using ConfigMgr 2012)
    Part of the Antimalware policy is the tab Definition Updates, in this tab you can define the update location(s). Also, in the normal client settings you can disable the client from going online for their initial definitions.
    Make sure you are deploying the latest updates via ConfigMgr (either via an ADR, or a custom Software Update Group).

  • SCEP 2012 and VDI offline servicing

    I've seen this question being asked before in another thread (Best practice to run Microsoft Endpoint Protection client in VDI environment) however the answer doesn't provide enough information (for me at least)
    We are planning to use a Citrix XenDesktop environment with Provisioning services providing VDI clients. As far as I know the SCCM client will be installed in the VDI golden image and after some adjustments SCCM client registration will go well. We will
    also use SCCM 2012 and deploy SCEP 2012 for anti-malware scanning.
    SCCM 2012 provides offline servicing for Software Updates in WIM images, but what is a best practice in keeping the VDI's up-to-date? I can't find any good information about this, so maybe the answer is very simple?... Is there a way to offline service the
    VDI image so Software Updates and Anti-Malware updates are injected in the image?
    Or do the VDI's get updated as physical systems, at the time they are logged in to the network, discarding all changes when logging off. This doesn't seem the right way to go.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thx. Niels

    I struggled with this same problem for a while, and likewise didn't find a great answer anywhere. In our case, this is for an RDS VDI environment, but the solution I ended up employing should work anywhere.
    First, set up SCCM/WSUS to download the updates to a UNC share (if you haven't already; here's a helpful guide:
    http://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/sccm-2012-scep-unc-definition-updates-automation-powershell.html). Also, create an antimalware policy for the VDI machines with the definition updates source set to UNC only, and set the UNC Path section accordingly.
    Here's the key part: create a scheduled task in your master image to run based on boot or resume (RDS puts the VDI VMs in a Saved state rather than Off). Here are the settings I used for the task:
    General tab: I set it to run as the SCCM Network Access Account; Run whether user is logged on or not
    Triggers tab: Begin the task On an event; Basic; Log: System; Source: Kernel-General; Event ID: 1 (this pops up on a startup or resume event); Delay task for: 5 minutes (during VM creation, it boots the machine for just a couple minutes, and I
    didn't want this task to be interrupted by a shutdown halfway through); Enabled
    Actions tab: Action: Start a program; Program/script: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\MpCmdRun.exe"; Add arguments: -SignatureUpdate
    I left the other tabs with their defaults
    In RDS, the VMs on creation are spun up briefly and then put into a Saved state. It then spins up just a few, waiting for users to connect. By the time a user logs in, the machine should have the latest updates, but even if it doesn't, it should be
    no more than ~5 minutes before it does.
    Hope this helps!

  • SCEP 2012 R2

    I'm migrating from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2.  So far I've tested manually pushing a client which worked successfully.  CCM and SCEP 2012 install just fine.
    However, SCEP isn't automatically updating immediately after install, and doesn't appear to be updating based on the settings in my antimalware policy.  If I manually update it works fine.  I have the updates configured to only pull from Configuration
    manager and to only pull every 8 hours.
    Should clients automatically update after install?  If so, where can I look to determine why mine aren't updating?  I can see in the logs they see the definitions but aren't installing them.

    Hi,
    Please check "Disable alternate sources (such as Microsoft Windows Update, Microsoft Windows Server Update Services, or UNC shares) for the initial definition update on client computers" in client settings.

  • Replacing FCS with SCEP 2012

    I'm in the pilot phase of replacing FCS on our workstations, servers with SCEP 2012.
    The FCS client was uninstalled as soon as the SCEP 2012 client appeared, SCEP Definitions are updated, but I'm getting prompted in the Software Center for http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2508824.
    Why would I even need (be offered) this if FCS is not on the machine? If I try to install it it fails.
    EDIT: am I right in assuming Client Update for Microsoft Forefront Client Security (1.0.1736.0) is not needed if SCEP is being used and I can just remove it from my Software Updates Group?

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

    Cannot seem to find SCEP 2012 for Mac 10.10. I only see old versions. Any help?

    A note to anyone like George who is looking for the updated Endpoint Protection installer, it IS updated in the disk image in the System Center 2012 R2 download, even though the date on the VLSC page for it has not changed since 2013.
