System Center Configuration Manager : Trojan QGIS software false detection ?
Hi, I’m not sure where to report or ask about this alert, so I’m posting here. I use SCCM to deploy the software QGIS (an open-source GIS application) to users’ computers using .msi installers. Recently, SCCM removed my installer and reported the following alert: System Center Endpoint Protection a détecté un programme malveillant sur un ou plusieurs ordinateurs de votre organisation Nom de la collection : _Tous les serveurs Nom du programme malveillant : Trojan:Win64/ScarletFlash.ASA!MTB Nombre d'infections : 1 Heure de la dernière détection (heure UTC) : 03/12/2025 02:14:24 Voici les infections de ce programme malveillant : Nom de l'ordinateur : xxx.xxxxxxx.xxxx Domaine : xxxx Heure de détection (heure UTC) : 03/12/2025 02:14:24 Chemin d'accès au fichier du programme malveillant : containerfile:_E:\Sources_Packages\QGIS\3.40.10\QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.40.10-1.msi;containerfile:_E:\Sources_Packages\QGIS\3.40.12-1\QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.40.12-1.msi;file:_E:\Sources_Packages\QGIS\3.40.10\QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.40.10-1.msi->application.cab->filD90E2F766C2B1014B0D199BDDDF46963;file:_E:\Sources_Packages\QGIS\3.40.12-1\QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.40.12-1.msi->application.cab->fil338C30DA73AC1014AF5482D1DA910BA5 Action de correction : Aucune action État des actions : Réussi Pour afficher d'autres informations sur l'activité des programmes malveillants dans votre organisation, exécutez le rapport des détails du programme malveillant. I contacted QGIS security team that says it's probably a false detection. How can I report this to Microsoft and request an update to their detection signatures to prevent this installer from being deleted? Sincerly,
Configuration Manager ADR for Windows Servers Not Deploying Updates
Hi everyone, We recently deployed Configuration Manager 2503 in our environment. The environment consists of the following: 1 Primary Site Server including Distribution Point role in head office, 1 Distribution Point server for a field office location, and 1 Site database server. We followed some articles or links online to deploy the Software Update Point on the primary site server that includes the Distribution Point role. The SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER, SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANANGER, and SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER components show a green checkmark and OK status. We followed some online articles or links to also create an Automated Deployment Rule as well. Despite creating the Automated Deployment Rules, it does not seem that updates are deploying to the targeted servers that are part of a Device Collection in Configuration Manager. Please advise what we should review to remediate this issue. Thanks.
Applications deployed on device based collection are missing from devices.
Hey guys, In my SCCM environment we are facing an issue. Its a co-managed environment where apps are deployed via SCCM. All of a sudden the apps deployed on Device based collection are not reaching the end user devices. The policies related to these app are also not reaching the device. The compliance status for these apps also went down even though if it is installed on the device the SCCM reports as Non-Compliant\Error. Has anyone faced this issue or can help me to identify what could be causing the issue.Issues with Capturing Windows11 25H2
I have been trying to capture an updated image from vsphere8 and sccm. I had zero issues with 22H2 and 23H2 but now I cannot get sysprep to pass generalizing. This error keeps coming up but I have tried most things the great Google had to offer. Any one else running into this issue?
Windows 11 and Office 365 Deployment Lab Kit
Hello, I am attempting to setup the most recent version of the Windows 11 and Office 365 Deployment Lab Kit, using the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-11-office-365-lab-kit However, the evaluation periods for Windows Server, SQL, and MECM are all expired once the lab is setup. When can we expect a new version with fresh eval periods? Thanks.Existing required application deployments policy is not sent to devices
I have couple hundred applications in SCCM/MCM that are set to required and whenever there is a new device is built, all these required applications automatically get installed. I am on 2503 and 5 days ago i started seeing this issue. But if modify that deployment with current date and time then the application gets deployed right away if i run Application Deployment evaluation cycle. I also tested by deleting the existing deployment and created a new required deployment and run Application Deployment evaluation cycle then the application installs right away. The problem seems like the Primary server is not sending the policy to the client for existing deployments. The application compliance that we see for every deployment under Monitoring for all the devices moved to Error with Success. Not sure why this is happening. All these changes i noticed in the last one week. A week ago all these Already Compliant and Success status device count is under Success tab. Let me know if you have any suggestions.Can't find and delete an antivirus exclusion made in MECM.
In the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current brunch I've added some of the detected malware to exclusions list via right-click in the section "Monitoring-Security-Endpoint protection status - Malware detected" and "Allow this threat". They were excluded for all the computers in a collection. How and where to find this exclusions and delete them? They are appeared on the client computers but not in the MECM Antimalware policies.
Using REST API to get / set device variables
Hi, I'm trying to set a couple of variables against a machine name, through using the REST API. These are the variables that are set that you can see in the console if you right click properties on a device and go to the 'Variables' tab. These are handy because they can later be referenced during Task Sequences / OSD. I just can't figure out how to do it with the REST API. I have no issues doing it with the powershell module using the 'New-CMDeviceVariable' command, but my solution i'm building at the moment requires the solution to be done with rest api, not with ps modules... I can connect to REST API using powershell using commands such as the below. This all works fine. $ConfigMgrServerURL = "https://SCCMserver.domain.local" $MachineName = "MachineName1" # Following command is a sample GET request, which works. (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$ConfigMgrServerURL/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_System?`$filter=Name eq '$MachineName'" -Credential $Credential) #I can also fetch "Custom Properties" via this command (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$ConfigMgrServerURL/AdminService/v1.0/Device($ResourceID)/AdminService.GetExtensionData" -Credential $Credential) Now i just can't see where i can go to set a variable on the machine. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks!
Win11 24H2 slow to restart TS task execution following reboot task in bare metal OS deployment
When comparing OS deployment bare metal task sequence times between Windows 11 24H2 and Windows 10 22H2 I could see that 24H2 was considerably slower even though the task sequences were almost identical other than the OS being laid down on the device. I did a timing comparison and noticed two things in particularly that were taking considerably longer on the 24H2 device: 1) reboot tasks 2) time to finish up the task sequence work after the last step. For reboot tasks, I can see that the delay is between these two events in the SMSTS.log log: Waiting for policy to be compiled in 'root\ccm\policy\machine' namespace and Policy verification done within the OSDSetupHook component. On the Windows 10 device the time between those log entries was 1 second, but on Windows 11 24H2 those log entries vary, but it's usually around 2 minutes. At the end of the task sequence, after executing the last task, following The task execution engine successfully completed the current task sequence step smsts.log entry to when the smsts.log stops being written to, it takes 14 seconds for the Windows 10 device, but it takes 4:29 seconds for the Windows 11 device. The delays are similar, between these two events in SMSTS.log (see attached screen shot): End Task Sequence policy cleanup and Policy evaluation initiated within the TSManager component. Any reason policy work should take considerably longer on Win11 24H2? Any suggestions on where I can look to see as to why it's taking such a longer time to deal with policy work in 24H2? Is this a Win11 24H2 issue, a ConfigMan issue, or ConfigMan configuration issue? I am welcome to entertain any thoughts or suggestions folks have. Anyone else seeing this issue in their environment? Environment details: CM 2503 (5.0.9135.1000) without KB33177653 or KB34503790 installed. Windows 11 = 24H2 customized reference image built from August 2025 ISO. ADK = 21H2 (10.1.22000.1).
