Windows Defender definition updates are not apply on Servers

Question

Hi,

Since Feb 18 Servers are not apply the Defender Updates.

i have checked following
On SCCM server I can see the ADR is running and downloading latest update and its been successfully distributed to all DP

On the Server
Within the logs I can see the policy is being apply and machine is getting the update but when you look at UpdatesDeployment.log

it show following
Raised assignment ({xxxxxx}) state message successfully. TopicType = Evaluate, StateId = 2, StateName = ASSIGNMENT_EVALUATE_SUCCESS UpdatesDeploymentAgent
Raised assignment ({xxxxx}) state message successfully. TopicType = Compliance, Signature = 5e176837, IsCompliant = True UpdatesDeploymentAgent

for some reason it showing that machine is already compliant for this update.

When I download the offline version and apply it, it works fine

Also under monitor -> Deployments
It show that these servers are already compliant for this update

Answer 1

Hi,

Does it mean the windows defender is not approved by ADR, and we download it and install manually on the client successfully?

If so, is the classification includes Windows Defender? or on the side of console, does the update of Windows defender show required by the client?

If I misunderstand something, please verify it.
