Hello kieferschild. At this time, Anti-Ransomware does not have a provision in it to control access in this way. For the Anti-Malware side of the agent software, you can change the access settings via the policy under Protection. Normal, Silent and Limited user modes. Any changes to these settings will require that the user logs off and back on in order to complete the change.
Anti-Malware, Normal mode:
This is the default setting (silent and limited modes unchecked), it allows full interaction with the software; invoke scans and updates, enable/disable real time file and web protections.
Anti-Malware, Silent mode:
This mode hides the Anti-Malware system tray icon and does not allow any interaction with the Anti-Malware software.
Anti-Malware, Limited user mode:
This mode for Anti-Malware disables access but keeps the system tray icon and allows users to invoke on-demand updates and scans.
Anti-Exploit:
This product has a separate setting for access to its system tray icon. Policy \ Anti-Exploit \ Do not show Anti-Exploit traybar icon and program interface.

That answer I gave you in the ticket is the upgrade path for third party tools, you must; uninstall, restart and then send a new install to upgrade using third party tools like PDQ, GPO, SCCM, SCE etc. Only the built-in console push tool can upgrade builds over the top of the existing install.

You are likely experiencing new netbios name service restrictions. Check those machines for certain Windows update KB numbers. These recent updates have restricted using netbios across subnets and VLANS (and within the same subnet if the server also has the update installed), so the machines will not show up.
The updates in question which block netbios are KB3161949, KB3163017 and KB3163018. There's four options available:- Modify (if existing) or create the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT|AllowNBToInternet a 32 bit dword with a value of 1.
-
You can also bypass this with a GPO to allow an exception for netbios if you are using Windows Firewall:
- Use an offline installer package created by the console in Policy -> Create Installation Package to install locally or through GPO/SCCM.
- Remove the updates from the server and the endpoint temporarily.

Knave, your issue will require a deeper than what we can accomplish on the forum. Please open a business support ticket by emailing corporate-support@malwarebytes.com.

No problem guys, happy to help!

Hi guys, it's been a while since we had an update but things are looking promising again. The cases where folks had put in the exclusions but were still experiencing lockups, we dived a bit deeper into those and found a common thread.
Again the issue from page 3, post 90, is coming up; using 8.3 truncated short names for the file path locations in the Microsoft product's ignore list (due to Microsoft's denial of our path name with the apostrophe) are not pointing to the actual locations for the executable files, rendering the exclusions non-functional.
Not every computer is going to have the "%programfiles%\malwar~1" location mean the same place due to; different bitness (%programfiles% can be two locations depending on if the machine is 32 or 64), other folders in the same directory starting with the name "Malwarebytes" and the order in which the software was installed. This makes some Anti-Malware paths "%programfiles%\malwar~2" or "%programfiles%\malwar~3". Using the dir /x command to see the actual truncated name for that particular machine will show you what that machine is using. This was described in this post...
We want to prevent mistakes in the ignore list so I came up with an ignore list scheme that should take into account every possible path for Anti-Malware, managed or un-managed, on either a 32 or 64 bit machine. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on this list from the folks who I have been working with one-on-one in support tickets and PM's, so I'd like more of you guys to try it out. Let me know if this helps you guys!

I'll also add that when I tested that tool before, I got 3 out of 5 when I ran it. It won't get 5 out of 5 due to a web test which I'll explain below. Make sure to read the logs of the Ransim tool as the Anti-Ransomware product will kill all the processes but sometimes the Ransim UI still shows "vulnerable". The web test, StrongCryptorNet scenario, has fake web traffic meant to simulate ransomware reaching out for the private key, but it sends the traffic to 127.0.0.1. Because home loopback is not an unsafe IP, the Anti-Malware product side web block will not engage. If it had been a real malicious IP, the traffic would be blocked if they had Anti-Malware. This tester is not realistic enough to provoke a shot for shot accuracy in the reaction of Malwarebytes software.

Hi Werner, you can do a clean reinstall or you can change the key in registry.
Registry Script:
if exist "%programfiles(x86)%" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v "ID" /d XXXXX-XXXXX /f>nul 2>&1 if exist "%programfiles(x86)%" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v "Key" /d XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX /f>nul 2>&1 if not exist "%programfiles(x86)%" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v "ID" /d XXXXX-XXXXX /f>nul 2>&1 if not exist "%programfiles(x86)%" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" /v "Key" /d XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX /f>nul 2>&1
Clean Reinstall:
- Download this tool - mb-clean-business.zip
- Restart then reinstall Anti-Malware and you'll again have the chance to put in the key.
-
In some instances, the endpoint will need to restart to finish its upgrade. Let us know how your observations go and if you need any more help.
-
The groups the clients are held in within the console are determined by a file on the endpoint, a group GUID in a file tells the clients where they belong. As long as this file doesn't change, the client will report right back to where they were before after the upgrade is complete.
The file is C:\ProgramData\sccomm\sccomm.xml on the endpoint.

Deploying via the offline installer through third party tools requires that the previous install be removed before installing the newer version. The third party install cannot upgrade over the top of an existing install.

Not usually no, but if you no longer have your purchase email with the link or your purchase email is very old with a link that is no longer used, yes, open a support ticket at corporate-support@malwarebytes.com and the link will be provided to you. It is not posted publicly.
-
We do not yet have a portal for customers to login into to manage their account. I'll PM you the current link.

Hey Trevor, the Client Push Install tool only shows historic data, no live data, by default. If you wish to get a more updated view, use the scan option "scan network and detect client software". That will refresh the data and give you a better view of what's out there in that feature.

I have done nothing to your thread or post except to answer you. If you check your inno setup log area in Windows, you are sure to find the installation logs identifying the exact failure, which is highly likely to be 1603. The Labtech message is not at all verbose to what's actually happening. If you would like to have a case elevated to the development team, you will need to open a support ticket at corporate-support@malwarebytes.com, otherwise all support requests for partner applications must be done through that partner.

Hi Adam, the enterprise versions web block works in the same way the home version does. It blocks attempts to reach out to IP's of servers known to host malicious content. The blocked IP's are determined by our research team, you are not able to add your own sites. If you wish to block access to adult sites you'll need to look into a firewall or content filter network appliance.

Hi Niyaz, have you setup the external access requirements for the server to talk to the license enforcement backend?
External URLs to have open for MBMC 1.7
https://data.service.malwarebytes.org
Port 443 outbound
https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com
Port 443 outbound
https://keystone.mwbsys.com
Port 443 outbound
Also add the keystone address to IE's trusted site list. -
.Net 3.5 is not a requirement for the operation of standalone Anti-Malware or Anti-Exploit. It is, however, a requirement for the communication of the modified managed versions in use by MSP's like Labtech and our own Management Console software.
Our managed client offline packages created by our console will install the prerequisites as needed, although for Win 8 and above, .Net 3.5 is already installed and disabled by default and the install will fail. The error code is usually 1603, which in this context means the failure was caused by the software already being installed. Our installer cannot correct for this condition. You will instead need to enable .Net 3.5 in Windows Features. If you stripped this out of your desktop image, you'll need DISM to re-install it.
The Labtech plugin installer we provide only installs the installation files to your Labtech server. Deployment via the Labtech server is dependent on Labtech's chosen engine, we are not at liberty to change their installer.
-
This is the same for our product offerings as well, our standalone and managed solutions need to have Anti-Malware uninstalled and then redeployed if you are pushing with a third party tool; GPO, PDQ, SCCM and so on. The Labtech version is built on the standalone version of the product and follows those same requirements.
This is not a solution that can be baked into the plugin installer. The plugin we make for Labtech is made to install Malwarebytes installation files to the Labtech console. The deployment of Malwarebytes from the Labtech console to the client machine(s) is up to the deployment engine that Labtech uses within their solution.
Independant upgrade ability is something that may be brought into next-gen versions of Anti-Malware.

The FRST tool is safe, temporarily disable your SEP agent and run the tool.

What program builds are you on and have you entered the key into the ignore list and edited it to be global?
Ignore list entry required:
HKU\*\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\EXPLORER|NoDrivesFor this ignore entry to work you must be on:
Management Console - 1.7.0.3208
Managed Client - 1.7.0.3208 (should always match console)
Anti-Malware - 1.80.2.1012 -
Yes it is possible, you'll need to perform a new push out to those clients to replace their connection information. This push is exactly like the very first install or client upgrade installs, you do it over the top of the existing deployment.
If you restored the crashed console server's SQL to this new server, there a few places you'll need to check to make sure the old connection info isn't still being sent out. Go to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes Management Server > Server Configuration and re-input the server connection info. Then head over to C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes Management Server\PackageTemplate and open sccomm.xml and make sure the server info is correct there. Afterwards, perform your new push and the clients should start to check in.

That's awesome news! Glad to hear you got it going again for that user.

Is this user on limited rights? Is there a chance they have a corrupt profile and Windows is loading a temp one?
Preventing MBARW from being disabled or uninstalled

Standard "domain user" level accounts (and higher) will have access to opening the main application GUI and killing processes from task manager. You would need to leverage GPO to limit the scope of permissions available to your users. Creating a group in AD, adding the user accounts to that group under properties \ member of, then creating a policy via Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Restricted Groups, adding that new group and its users to the restricted list. This can have unintended impacts on access to other applications, so be aware of that. As the admin for this environment, you got to strike a balance between access and restriction. Is denying access to Malwarebytes' GUI worth locking down all other applications through this policy and the subsequent internal tickets that will be opened because users can no longer do other things? Another point to keep in mind is If these domain accounts have been given local admin or local power user rights over the machine, then nothing can stop them from opening the application or killing it in task manager.
