IAASAntimalware- Provisioning Failed

Question

I am getting below error on installing MicroSoft AntiMalware Extension to Azure Virtual Machine.

Error 1:
System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service MSMPSvc on computer '.'. ---System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at Microsoft.Azure.Security.EngineConfiguratorWmi.EnableAntiMalware(String ServiceName) at Microsoft.Azure.Security.CampEngine.Enable(AntimalwareConfig newConfig)

Error 2:

(Exception from HRESULT:0x8007007E) at Microsoft.Azure.Security.MpClient.MpManagerOpen (UInt32 dwReserverd, IntPtr&PmPHandle)at Microsoft.Azure.Security.EnginerConfiguratorApi.EnableAntimalware(String Servicename) at Microsoft.Azure.Security.CampEngine.Enable(AntimalwareConfig newConfig)

Answer 1

The Following Steps works for me:

1. Uninstalled the extension "IaaSAntimalware" in Extensions blade.
2. Deleted the following path in the server "C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Security.IaaSAntimalware".
3. Verified "System Center Endpoint Protection" completely removed or not in Installed programs list in Server.
4. Installed extension "Microsoft Antimalware" in Extensions blade.

Still the Status in Azure Portal is showing as "Provisioning Failed".

next Steps:
5. Execute the below command in elevated admin command prompt.
C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Security.IaaSAntimalware\Version(Eg:1.5.5.49)>SCEPINSTALL /forceclean
6. Complete the step by step installation.
7. Gone through Steps 1 to 4 again.
