Get-MpComputerStatus Properties Information
Hi all,
Does anyone have any information regarding the current properties of the "Get-MpComputerStatus" PowerShell Cmdlet? I'm interested in the new information, for example the "InitializationProgress" field that was added in November 2023 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-antivirus-updates?view=o365-worldwide#whats-new).
However, I can't find any up to date information regarding the properties. The https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/defender/get-mpcomputerstatus?view=windowsserver2022-ps only shows a subset of properties and the reference to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/defender/msft-mpcomputerstatus#properties at the bottom of the page has not been updated since 2018.

Hi, did you ever receive an answer to this through another channel? I'm trying to find out information on another property - DefenderSignaturesOutOfDate - and and how much time needs to pass for it to switch from False to True. It is also not listed on the MSFT_MpComputerStatus class page that you linked.
Hi,
unfortunately not - no answer to this question. If you are able to get this info somehow, I would be grateful if you could update here.
Regarding the "DefenderSignaturesOutOfDate" property, the default should be 14 days, but you can configure that specific to your needs through the usual channels:
