UpdatesDeployment.log - Definition Updates - System Center Endpoint Protection

Question

Hello,

Apparently the system center endpoint protection agent is not getting updated from Configuration Manager:

Fallbackorder: InternalDefinitionUpdateServer|MicrosoftUpdateServer|MMPC

We are NOT patching the server using Configuration Manager Software Update Point servers VRPSCCMSU01 or DGIT-SU-SCCM-P1.

We are patching the server with the regular WSUS process using the server VOPWSUS2K12.

I checked the UpdatesDeployment.log and I saw this error looping ... Any idea?

Thanks,

Dom

Answer 1

Has this ever worked? Endpoints will expect WSUS source to be the SUP for SCEP.

Answer 2

Hello,

I don't think it has ever worked. The results were not expected but due to the fallbackorder "InternalDefinitionUpdateServer|MicrosoftUpdateServer|MMPC"

settings another WSUS server (the original one not SUP) would have taking over...

Any idea why Microsoft proposed this solution if the SUP is mandatory and we do not use them for servers?

Thanks,
Dom
