I ran into an issue today with Windows Defender on a client computer. Windows Defender wasn't able to download updates. When I clicked the Check for Updates button, I would receive the error:

"The Program can't download definition updates. Error Found 0x80240022"

This was on an otherwise healthy system with access to the internet. Automatic updates where working, though configured to be received by WSUS so I looked into manually downloadeding and installing the Windows Defender definitions which wasn't that intuitive but Windows KB article 923159 helped me find the following links. 

32 bit versions of Windows: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=70631

x64 version of Windows: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=70632

Itanium version of Windows: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=70633

Here’s a question/comment from one of Infront’s SCOM training attendees…

Hi Rory, I was in your SCOM classes in December in Dallas. I really enjoyed the class as you helped me out a lot by confirming the many eccentricities of the product—and that I’m neither insane nor inept when I can’t get it to do what I want.

I have made more progress on my scom implementation in the month since your class than I made in the past two years, and that includes the Christmas holiday.

That said, here’s another one I found:

I’m populating groups with windows servers based on principal name, leveraging our server naming convention. Simple enough.

Any windows computer whose principal name matches wildcard “*bizp*” is a production BizTalk server.

Except some of my servers are named SISBIZP*. And the query is, I’m not kidding, case-sensitive. I have to put an OR group in the query builder or I only get half my servers.
