SCEP Definition update from Microsoft Malware Protection Center vs WindowsUpdate?

Hi,
SCEP Definition update from Microsoft Malware Protection Center vs WindowsUpdate? What is the different?
/SaiTech

If I remember correctly - definitions for A/V and NIS will be the same from either location.  I think MMPC might give you the ability to download partial, not yet released definitions for added zero-day protection.  I don't remember
if you have to be part of MAPS to get that benefit, sorry.
With the integration of WSUS with SCCM 2012, I've found that using updates distributed from ConfigMgr to be sufficient.  I do have those other methods available, but at lower priorities so that remote users who don't VPN as often as they should, have
a fallback until we can get PKI/HTTPS or an Azure DP, or Direct Access.
Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I do know that getting updates from SCCM's built in WSUS (via Automatic Deployment Rules), has worked really well for us, and having those extra methods enabled in your policy definitely makes for some extra fallback options.

  • SCEP Definition Updates from WSUS

    I am currently using ConfigMgr (SUP) for all update patching including SCEP definitions (the 3 times a day scenario) but I was wondering if I can configure the clients so they just get their SCEP definitions from a stand-alone WSUS yet continue to receive
    all other updates from ConfigMgr (SUP)? I've been successful with pointing the clients to Microsoft Update, Microsoft Malware Protection Center and UNC file shares by changing the Definition Update Source using a custom Antimalware Policy but
    I haven't figured out how to point the SCEP client to a WSUS server? There is a setting in the Antimalware policy to set the UNC path so I was expecting to see a setting to set the WSUS URL. It's hard for me to believe the SCEP client can't be independaly
    re-directed to a local WSUS since you can configure the SCEP client it to go directly to Microsoft or the Protection Center which is basically the WSUS mothership.   
      

    I understand that. I just assumed that since I can change the Definition Update Source and pull the definitions down from "Updates distributed from Microsoft Update" or "Updates distributed from Microsoft Malware Protection Center"
    or "Updates distributed from UNC file shares", all which worked fine for me providing the SCEP client (using WUA) can pull definitions down from a different source
    while all other updates come down normally via the SUP/WSUS, that the "Updates distributed from WSUS" option would allow a separate WSUS to work as well.
    Jason: You asked "What's your end goal or reason for wanting to have separate sources?"
    I would rather not discuss this via the forum so feel free to contact me at
    [email protected] and we can continue this conversation and update the thread at a later time.
     

  • Microsoft Security Essentials not taking definition updates from WSUS Server.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a WSUS server installed on network on which MSE definition updates are installed, but the MSE on the client computer is not getting updates from it.
    When I click the update button it gives me error "Virus and spyware definitions couldn't be updated".
    The error code i am getting is 0x80244018. The definition updates couldn't be installed please try again later.
    I also have TMG on my network as a default gateway, I want to update MSE from WSUS not from microsoft update.
    Do I have to change rules....??? or any suggesstions that how MSE can be automatically updated from WSUS, the WSUS setting is saved into a GROUP Policy and applied....
    Please advice......

    The error code i am getting is 0x80244018.
    This is an HTTP 403 error, which is generally (but not always) indicative of a proxy server interfering with the download. Assuming this is happening when the client is trying to get Definition Updates from Microsoft during the daily scan, this error will
    likely go away once you properly set up WSUS to provide the definition updates.
    I want to update MSE from WSUS not from microsoft update.
    To do this, you need the following:
    The Definition Updates classification must be configured for synchronization.
    An Automatic Approval rule that approves the Definition Updates classification for the appropriate target group(s) must be configured and enabled.
    The policy setting Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation must be ENABLED.
    Your WSUS server should be configured to synchronize multiple times per day (at least 2).
    Your clients should be configured with a shorter Detection Frequency (8 hours is ideal).
    With the above configured, the clients will check the WSUS server 3x-4x per day, find the latest available Definition Update, download it and install it immediately.
    Note, however, that if the client fails to download and install Definition Updates, MSE will continue to do a check, and attempt to update the Definition Updates during the daily scan. If your TMG blocks the client's Internet access, then they
    will continue to log HTTP 403 errors when this definition update attempt is executed. (This is why you configure multiple syncs and scans per day -- so the client *never* has to go to Microsoft to get the current definition updates.)

  • SCEP definition updates trying to pull from the Internet - poor behaviour

    Most of our clients do NOT have the ability to just head out to the internet to get things (via proxy or otherwise) and as such, I have configured my Malware policy to use "Updates distributed from Configuration Manager" ONLY
    I do NOT want it trying to get updates from ANYWHERE ELSE.
    Some aren't behaving. :(
    I am seeing log entries that indicate that the client is trying to go out to the Internet to get the updates.
    Here is a cycle of the machine's more recent attempt:

    Anyone have any suggestions?  I don't want the machines to EVER try to go out to the internet when they are trying to update their SCEP defs.

    Stop SCEP from downloading over the internet, uncheck the following locations:
    1. SCFEP Def Deployment (ADR if you have one) - 
    Download Setting: If software updates are not available on preferred distribution point or remote distribution point, download content from Microsoft Updates
    2. Client Setting (Endpoint Protection) [check your priority if you have more than 1]
    Disable Alternet Sources (such as Microsoft Windows Update, ....) for the inital definition update on client computers.
    3. Asset and Compliance :Endpoint Protection, Antimalware Policies (check all that you have and priority)
    Defintion Updates: If Configuration Manager is used as a source for definition update, clients will only update from alternate sources if definition is older than (hours)  Set this to 720.  This is the max, after this the machine will be forced
    to pull from Microsoft to protect the machine.

  • Some clients not receiving SCEP definition updates

    I have a collection for some of our application servers that is used in conjunction with an ADR to deploy the SCEP definition updates. 12 of the servers in this collection recently had the SCCM 2012 R2 client installed on them. (The collection has a total
    of 23 servers in it)
    I can see that these 12  servers have the Antimalware policy applied, but are not getting the SCEP updates.  The summary for SCEP is:  Service started without any malware protection engine; AV signatures out of date; AS signatures out
    of date.
    The policy application state is "Succeeded" with the recent date and time.
    When I view the status of the deployment, the enforcement state is "Failed to install update(s) " with an error code of 0X87D00667 - No current or future service window exists to install software updates.
    These servers are members of another collection that is used for deploying the Monthly updates.  This "update" collection does have a maintenance window on it specific to software updates, with no recurrence schedule.
    Do maintenance windows apply to the machine then, regardless of what collection they are in?
    These 12 servers, for the Endpoint Protection client settings have the "Allow EP client installation and restarts outside MW" set to No, and the Suppress any required computer restarts after the EP client is installed set to Yes. 
    For the Software Updates client setting, the update scan schedule and deployment re-evaluation is set to every 7 days.
    So, in looking at this, it appears that these servers will never get any SCEP updates because they are members of another collection that has a MW, even though the SCEP collection does not have a MW?
    Is that correct?

    I added a MW on the collection that is used for SCEP updates.  I made the MW effective yesterday, but the MW hours were from 5:30am-7:30am daily (which should have started this morning, 1/30, at 5:30am).
    In the updatesdeployment.log, I see the MW starting:
    CUpdateAssignmentsManager received a SERVICEWINDOWEVENT START Event UpdatesDeploymentAgent 1/30/2015 5:30:00 AM 3004 (0x0BBC)
    No current service window available to run updates assignment with time required = 1 UpdatesDeploymentAgent 1/30/2015 5:30:00 AM 3004 (0x0BBC)
    CUpdateAssignmentsManager received a SERVICEWINDOWEVENT END Event UpdatesDeploymentAgent 1/30/2015 7:30:00 AM 3312 (0x0CF0)
    No current service window available to run updates assignment with time required = 1 UpdatesDeploymentAgent 1/30/2015 7:30:00 AM 3312 (0x0CF0)
    Attempting to cancel any job started at non-business hours. UpdatesDeploymentAgent 1/30/2015 7:30:00 AM 3312 (0x0CF0)
    However, the definitions are not installed. These 12 servers have the SCEP client, but no definitions installed.
    There are 11 servers in this collection that are getting the definition updates, but the 12 servers in this collection that have recently had the SCCM client installed on it are not getting the updates.    So I know that the ADR is working.
    What am I missing to get these 12 servers to install/update the definitions?

  • SCEP Service started without any malware protection engine; AV signatures out of date; AS signatures out of date

    Our new pooled VDI collection reports the following errors in SCCM 2012 R2 regarding SCEP:
    Service started without any malware protection engine; AV signatures out of date; AS signatures out of date
    The Windows Update service is disabled and it is by design when we create a new collection, althought the service is enabled on the master template.
    SCEP is not up-to-date, real-time protection is off, and this is causing us compliances issues.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    How do you set the SCEP to get definition updates?
    The following blog might help.

  • SCEP definition update through Automate Deployment Rule

    Hi all.  Got a question on deploying SCEP 2012 definition updates to client PC through SCCM2012 R2 by using Automate Deployment Rule.  It looks like the client PC is not receiving the definition updates immediately.  The ADR seems working
    fine, it completed the synchronization successfully, no error on "PatchDownloader.log" and "ruleengine.log"; deployment folder got filled up with new definition updates.  However, the client is not receiving the new SCEP definition
    updates immediately, although I've configured ADR to install the update as soon as possible, yet nothing happens for the past 2 hours.  I ended up launch the SCEP console on the client PC and then click the "update" button manually, and this
    launch the update process.  I just wondering how much time we need to wait for the SCEP definition update to apply onto the client PC.  Microsoft seems release 3 - 4 definition update per day, I am afraid we might not using the latest definition
    update due to the time waiting issue.  Thank you.

    I've configured the polling interval to take place every 3 hours.  I guess this contribute to the waiting time.  I will keep an eye on it to see if the definition in deed installs automatically. 
    Yes that's one of the delay which is the major Contribution also there would be some delay for the updates when they are downloading and getting updated to the distribution points. You can check the 'Content Status' for that package to verify if it got updated.

  • Windows Xp machines cannot connect to Windows Server 2008r2 after Update from Microsoft.

    After allowing sever updates from Microsoft, My customers XP Machines can no longer connect to the Windows server shares using the server name.  We get "can't find path error".  I can ping the IP address but not the Net-bios name.  I
    can connect by ip address but have a software that must use the name "server" in an executable.  The workgroup sees all of the other computers just not the server, the server see's the windows 7 machines but not the XP machines.  I have
    tried every fix I can find in the forums and online.  I did find and AD and DNS errors during the update.  Errors 4004, 4005, 4015.  Things I have tried: ipconfig flushdns, renew, registerdns, nbtstat -A servername, etc.
    Thanks

    As IP address works but not NetBIOS name, it seems like a DNS or WINS server related issue as Milos said.
    If there is no WINS server configged, check DNS settings (server side) and suffix settings (client side).
    Which system is updated, Windows XP or Windows 2008 R2? You can check the recently installed updates and provide us a list about all updates just installed.

  • SCEP definition updates for clients in DMZ

    Hello,
    I do want to enable SCEP definition updates for small group of clients in DMZ (apprx 30 -40)
    I have created a separate  AD OU and SCCM collection for such computers.
    Google shows me different ways like using Definition Update Automation Tool, WSUS, scripts, shares etc, and I am quite confused for which way to adopt.
    can any one suggest me which is the best automated way?
    I do have SCCM 2012 sp1 and all win 8 cleints.
    Thanks in Advance

    You can use whathever method you prefer. All will most likely work. As there's already Configmgr in place I'd use it to do this job. ADRs (automatic deployment rules) can be used to automate this process.

    Only *Security Updates* have MSRC Security Bulletin numbers, but not all security updates have MSRC Security Bulletins associated with them. In fact, there are a large number of security updates that are not associated with security bulletins. -242- of 'em
    on my WSUS server.
    Otherwise, the MSRC Number field will always be blank on non-security updates, and may be blank on security updates.

  • Outlook, People & Calendar nothing is working after last update from Microsoft

    Hi Team,
    Don't know whether Microsoft Team is capturing all the big questions & disappointment against the Windows 8.1. 
    Because many areas, I found the same issue but nothing gives proper response from Microsoft. Don't know whether they like to continue to compete Google & Others or not.. 
    Issue is with Update from Microsoft (Hotfix or any security or etc..) After update Microsoft Outlook, People or Calendar in Windows 8.1 stop working..
    When we clicked in It start flashing that but after 1 or 2 second, It just closed down without any error message (which more disappoint the user.. is that what microsoft released? shall we expect thats the quality from Microsoft Windows Team and as may be
    from LUMIA ? no error nothing & just close the application.. ) ?
    No update, nothing response from Microsoft on that.
    I am writing this in March 2014 which means, I recently experienced this with the updates. Hope Many others are disappoint as well. 
    Any response from Microsoft or Windows 8.1 Team ?
    Regards,
    Brijesh Shah

  • SCEP Definition Updates not updating

    Hi!
    Our topology consists in one Head Quarter Office Server and 6 Branch Office Servers.
    All systems are updated, except for the systems on one Branch Office.
    I have checked step by step the blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scstr/archive/2012/05/31/how-to-scep-amp-settings-amp-automatic-deploymnet-rule.aspx 
    Its everything fine, but the systems persist not updated on that branch office. 
    When I checked the Content Status of FEP Definition Update Deployment Package, it has a status of "In Progress".
    The target server does have enought disk space to receive the content, once I created a prestaged content file and it has about 600MB.
    I removed that content location and then distributed again. How can I follow the logs of that distribution?
    Any suggestion on checking this problem out?
    Thanks in advance. 
    Fabio Martins MCDST/MCSA Brasil!!!

    Hi,
    What's the content status of the update package? In progress?
    1.You could try to increase the number of Maximum threads per package in
    Software distribution component properties under
    Sites ->choose your site -> Configure site components -> Software Distribution.

  • Microsoft Malware Protection

    i was doing some research on the eventid 1116 and came across version field in event viewer which is 3.0 
    what is the version ?

    If I remember correctly - definitions for A/V and NIS will be the same from either location.  I think MMPC might give you the ability to download partial, not yet released definitions for added zero-day protection.  I don't remember
    if you have to be part of MAPS to get that benefit, sorry.
    With the integration of WSUS with SCCM 2012, I've found that using updates distributed from ConfigMgr to be sufficient.  I do have those other methods available, but at lower priorities so that remote users who don't VPN as often as they should, have
    a fallback until we can get PKI/HTTPS or an Azure DP, or Direct Access.
    Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I do know that getting updates from SCCM's built in WSUS (via Automatic Deployment Rules), has worked really well for us, and having those extra methods enabled in your policy definitely makes for some extra fallback options.
