REGITDept Posted January 17, 2019 ID:1293145 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Dear Malwarebytes, We have encountered a couple of issues with the MMC and we believed it is a bug but un-sure until it is verified with you guys. Bug 1: PCs still listed as being online when it is off and vice versa. Bug 2: Unable to move PC to a Group while it is offline. (See attached screenshot for error message). Thanks.

Staff JPalacio Posted January 17, 2019 Staff ID:1293164 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hello @REGITDept , Bug 1. The status on the machine should match the status on the console. I will create a case for you to further investigate the online/offline status of the machines. Bug 2. It is a requirement that the machine is online for a group move to take place.

REGITDept Posted January 18, 2019 Author ID:1293317 Share Posted January 18, 2019 JPalacio, If Bug #2 is a requirement then how come sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't? We also have a Console running 1.6.1.2897 that never got this issue? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djacobson Posted January 22, 2019 ID:1294018 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Are your groups AD OU synced? Status mismatch for clients can be many different issues, we would need to review your sccomm log entries from C:\programdata\sccomm\logs.

REGITDept Posted January 28, 2019 Author ID:1295205 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Here is an update status directly from Support for Bug 1. Thank you for your updates and patience. Our engineering has reviewed this case and would like to further investigate this behavior as they were able to reproduce the issue you encountered. I will move this case to our L2 support queue and they will be in contact for next steps/updates on this case. Thank you for working with me on this issue. Thanks.

REGITDept Posted February 8, 2019 Author ID:1297398 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Status updates from Malwarebytes: I was able to successfully reproduce the error that you are receiving when attempting to send commands to offline clients. We have provided the developers for MBMC all of the logs and information provided by you, and we are investigating a fix for this problem. The fix is currently being targeted for release with MBMC 1.9.1. The timeline for 1.9.1 is currently sometime in the first half of 2019, but aiming towards February or March. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this error at the moment. If you would like, we can keep this case open for tracking purposes, that way we can provide you with more specific information about release as the timeline grows closer.

REGITDept Posted March 4, 2019 Author ID:1302041 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Status updates from Malwarebytes for Bug 2: I have received a reply for our engineering team today and I can confirm that clients shouldn't move between groups when they are offline. This seems to be a bug that will be resolved in next release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REGITDept Posted April 4, 2019 Author ID:1306610 Share Posted April 4, 2019 R.E: Bug # 1: Whenever the server is restarted the online/offline status of clients is reflected correctly, but just at that moment in time. After a while it will revert back to the incorrect online/offline status. Do you guys know of any processes and/or services that MMC is running so I can try to test of restarting those to see if it helps? I just don't want to restart the server every time I wanted to see who is online/offline at the time. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not seeing your reply but the answer to your question is that our Console is not linked to the AD. We are not using AD for MMC. Thanks.

BLucas Posted August 2, 2019 ID:1327251 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Any update on the new release date? This issue is quite annoying to our users that have to update their databases manually. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a requirement that the machine is online for a group move to take place. I have successfully fixed this on my client computers. The steps were as follows. From the management console Client Tab, remove the offline PC. Go to the PC and log in as admin and remove Malwarebytes from the PC through Control Panel/Programs and features. Ensure Netlogon Service is running on PC. From the management console Admin Tab, scan for computers, find the affected PC and do a new Push Install. You will see the PC in the Client Tab again after a refresh. It will show as online. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REGITDept Posted August 19, 2019 Author ID:1330095 Share Posted August 19, 2019 BLucas, Thanks for the help but unfortunately that will not work. After a while you will see the bugs again, especially if you have a lot of clients. I'm not sure about your environment but the bugs still present in our environment. Thanks.

BLucas Posted August 21, 2019 ID:1330354 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Crap, I thought this would help. I have 20 users in this limited environment for one of my clients we're seeing this at. Not experiencing it at any other users at this time. I'l continue to post all changes. Thanks! Best! Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REGITDept Posted November 8, 2019 Author ID:1344076 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Dear Malwarebytes, How much longer until you guys have the fix for the bugs? It's been a very long time and starting to being ridiculous. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REGITDept Posted January 20, 2020 Author ID:1357280 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hello Malwarebytes, It's been 1 year and no status update yet for the reported and confirmed bugs. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutt Posted March 27, 2020 ID:1369394 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Sad to say but I think the Management server portion is dead, they have focused 100% on the cloud management service. Which basically puts us organizations out of luck of any updates. Shame as it was starting to look like a good product. Might have to start looking for a different malware product.

exile360 Posted March 27, 2020 ID:1369406 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm not certain of the current development status, roadmap or priorities for the Product team, however I would encourage you to reach out to Malwarebytes Business Support if the product is failing to meet your requirements and/or expectations and hopefully they will be able to help you to get the product functioning the way that you desire. If you haven't done so already, I would recommend contacting them by filling out the form located on this page and hopefully they will be able to provide you with solutions to the issues you are experiencing.

You are correct scoutt. They said they will fix this bug more than a year ago but still no fix yet. Looks like they are focusing on the Cloud side like you said. It is getting very ridiculous.

scoutt Posted March 27, 2020 ID:1369412 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I only say that because support has told me that. Nobody at support knows if or when it will get updated. I uncovered a bug where it lists the wrong OS when you view the client, that has been added to the bug list as well. Its been a few months now since then even. Sad, I like this product too.

REGITDept Posted July 6, 2020 Author ID:1392546 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I guess no one worked on this bug because the product will end of life on August 4th, 2021. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted July 6, 2020 ID:1392559 Share Posted July 6, 2020 That is certainly possible if they are discontinuing/replacing this product that they may have reduced efforts to fix existing bugs in the product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
