Comment on Using Your Distribution Points for FEP Definitions with the Software Update Automation Tool – Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Update Rollup 1 by Tracey

I figured out what the problem was.
I ran the software update command at a command prompt, and it came back and told me that /RefreshDP is not a good switch.
I took that out, and it runs fine.

Thanks for the tip, this didn't actually work for me, but it got me thinking that it could be an issue with the files or folder. I figured I'd try moving the source files to a new folder and refreshing the DP's and that worked.

Comment on SoftwareUpdateAutomation.exe Scheduled Task Fails with an 0×1 Error Message When Updating FEP 2010 Definition Package by Michael Griswold

Richard helped me when I hit this issue in my lab. Since then it looks like perhaps the product team has solved this issue so the rest of the world doesn't have to worry about SCUP.

Comment on Using SCCM Distribution Points for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Definition Updates by Dhillan

Hi Richard

Firstly thanks a lot for this Guide on deploying FEP updates, it is very useful. I however have run into a bit of a problem. I have followed the guide step by step but have hit a snag at creating the collections. When I right click on my configuration item I do not get the option "New Collection - Compliant Systems". If I am not mistaken the client is running SCCM 2007 R2.

Please assist if possible.
