Anti-Malware Database Update Fails. No Connection To Server.

Trey — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 13:48:55 GMT

A large number of agents are failing to update anti-malware database. A majority of the agents do update. They are all on the same network, behind the same firewall with the same policy, same agent version. The GUI says Anti-Malware Database failed. No connection to servers. In the AntiMalwareBlade log, we see the following:

Did the problem ever come back or not? We're seeing the same issue with a number of our devices as well. Majority work fine, but we do have a significant amount that fail to update. Even updating to the newest client doesn't fix the issue.

Marcos_Vieira — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 23:18:43 GMT

I was having the same problem here, in my lab. What solved my problem was the procedure found in sk141033 - "Anti-Malware cannot update signatures from Endpoint Security Server". I have just tested it successfully.

Re: Anti-Malware Database Update Fails. No Connection To Server.

Rajesh891003 — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 15:25:42 GMT

could you able to access our system and solve this issue?

we are suffering from this issue for 2 months. No one can't able to solve the problem. checkpoint is a very big company. But they even couldn't able to solve their own product since 2 months. It's quite not acceptable.

can you please access our system and solve this issue?
