Problems reatriving data from antimalware clients and updating Zen antimalware client.

Hello,

we have a zenworks appliance version 20.3 with endpoint security enabled. all our zen agents/anti-malware are installed on windows 10. (also all licences are active and not expired).

at first when everything was configured it was all working perfectly for a few months (anti-malware clients were updating, scanning reporting...). After some time the clients stopped reporting to zenworks server. Now when we try to update on some windows clients it just hands "updating" some say module expired (even if the licence is active and okay) and a few of them are updating and scanning normally as nothing is wrong but they wont report data to zenworks server (or the server doesn't collect them and shows them on the dashboard, unclear). Also the uninstall code stopped working. 

what could be the cause of this and what can we do to fix this ?

kind regards,

AF

    Server Side Patch 964 on 20.3 and Patch 334 on 23.3 should resolve this.

    Upgrading to 23.4 should as well.

    In short, a counter-signature was missing on a core DLL so that when the signing cert expired, the signing was no longer valid.  This has been corrected and is now properly counter-signed preventing age from impacting signing validity.

    Hi Craig,

    So been working with our ZCM expert Bruce and we are a little stumped at this point.  We are having several machines showing the error "The Antimalware module has expired.  Contact your system administration for further details"  The majority of our machines have no issues and are not showing this error.  This morning, my machine which has had no issues are now reporting the same error as mentioned above.  Bruce has told me we are fully patched to 23.4 except for one patch but it is not showing any information regarding this issue.

    First, is there anything else we can check?  Also, can you point me to the dll file explained in your post above so I can check version and date to make sure the trouble machines have the correct dll.  Are list of machines continue to grow with the error above even though we have doubled checked that our license is current and not expired.

    Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.  Screen shot of error below...

    Thanks
