Microsoft Security Essentials not taking definition updates from WSUS Server.

[techspec90]

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......

 

Is there any setting possible that when user clicks on Update in Microsoft Security Essential the update request is forwarded to WSUS Server....????

Microsoft Security Essential is not a managed product, so I assume that's why it's not looking at WSUS. If you want to manage your antimalware agent you need to look at the Endpoint Protection agent.

Hi peter,

 

Thank You so much for the reply....

 

I wanna know for Endpoint Protection Agent do I have to Deploy SCCM in my network...?????

Correct, to be able to manage the Endpoint Protection agent you need ConfigMgr.
