Windows Defender definitions update

Windows Defender definitions update

Postby eLPuSHeR » 15.04.2019, 08:55

Hello.

Yesterday while updating an offline w10 x86 v1803 17134.706 I wasn't able to update Windows Defender Definitions. The mpam-fe.exe file size is smaller than the one you get HERE.

Update to the new version 11.6.2 and try again.

To update, just run the UpdateGenerator.exe and it will tell you, if a new version is available, as soon as you click on the Start button.

Good day.

Yes I updated to latest version yesterday and I have recreated whole offline updates from scratch (20GB+). Now everything seems fine. I will test it this afternoon.

Best regards.

Hi All,

I also tried it today but I got ever "the file ..\msse\x64-glb\mpam-fe.exe is missing" or something similar. And if I look in that folder "client\msse\x64-glb\mpam-fe.exe" the file is not there but for the 32bit version "client\msse\x86-glb\mpam-fe.exe" is there. Is there some error inside the new scripts that it only work for x86.
I will download the file manually from: "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=121721&arch=x64" and try if the update works if the file would correct downloaded. I will keep you informed.

Best regards.

Hi All again,

I retested and have to correct me. The "client\msse\x86-glb\mpam-fe.exe" was old and not updated and I try it today outside from our company network without proxy and the "client\msse\x64-glb\mpam-fe.exe" was updated also Silverlight which before only generate this warning "Warning: Download of https://download.microsoft.com/download ... ht_x64.exe failed". So some one have a hint for me what I can do that is work with again with proxy. Until the location of defender signatures was changed it was working. :?:

The environment variable https_proxy is missing, and this affects both Silverlight and the new virus definition links:

https://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8952

The virus definition links are stored with http URLs, but the server seems to advise wget to use https instead with a HSTS response:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSTS

As a result, all connections will be made with https, as the fist line from wget indicates:

Code: Select all
~/Downloads$ wget --trust-server-names "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=121721&arch=x86"

As a workaround, you could set the variables http_proxy and https_proxy in a terminal and then call the script DownloadUpdates.cmd manually, for example:

Code: Select all
set http_proxy=http://192.168.2.101:3128
set https_proxy=http://192.168.2.101:3128
DownlodUpdates.cmd ...


Or you could create a settings file .wgetrc in your home directory and enter such settings there. But I don't exactly know the approach for Windows.


Or you could fix the script DownloadUpdates.cmd yourself, by changing lines 180-183 from:

Code: Select all
if /i "%3"=="/proxy" (
  set http_proxy=%4
  shift /3
)


to:

Code: Select all
if /i "%3"=="/proxy" (
  set http_proxy=%4
  set https_proxy=%4
  shift /3
)

Hi hbuhrmester,

sorry for my late reply and thanks for your solution. I tested it with your change in the DownloadUpdates.cmd and with proxy inside our company network and it works fine, thank you a lot.
