Endpoints not reporting virus definitions

Recommended Posts

I have just recently built a new sccm 2012 instance , with new site code and moved all the clients across , Clients are all appearing with the correct site code and are successfully getting the correct antimalware policies applied from the new server on the SCEP instance that was installed from the previous sccm server.

The problem is the new server is showing the clients as no endpoint protection enabled.

Basically the clients are not reporting there endpoint status to the new server, however are reporting there client status.

I was able to resolve the issue easily enough by uninstalling endpoint and reinstalling it again, but as there are over 700 devices this is not ideal,

I have also tried deleting registry.pol..no luck here

Also you say to use cm12 to uninstall/ install I know how to reinstall the client , but how would I achieve reinstalling endpoint with sccm2012 ?

In a nutshell, you would do it the same way you manually uninstalled the SCEP client. There are lot of different ways to do this but this is one of the simplest.

 

  • Create a Program with the Uninstall for SCEP client
  • Create a Program with the Install for SCEP client
  • Deploy the Uninstall for SCEP with a time of 11:00am
  • Deploy the Install for SCEP with a time of 11:02

 

You can you task sequences to make this one "step" or you can use dependences too.

 

In any case you will need to test this.
