Cloudmark spam engine not update
-
Tuesday, September 04, 2012 12:35 PM
I have a server running Microsoft TMG 2010 with Exchange Edge Transport and Forefront 2010 installed.
The Cloudmark spam engine doesn't appear to be updating properly. I'm getting the following error logged in the event log and displayed through the Forefront 2010 admin console:
Level: Error
Event ID: 7048
Source: Microsoft Forefront Protection
Content Filter is enabled and the last definition update was over 12 hours ago.
All the other engines are updating and I believe the major Cloudmark definition retrieved from http://forefrontdl.microsoft.com/server/scanengineupdate is being checked/download successfully.
It appears it's only the micro updates, retrieve directly from Cloudmark, that are failing.
The machine has HTTP/HTTPS access to the internet.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Shoaib Nawaz

Hi,
Thank you for the update.
“I have a server running Microsoft TMG 2010 with Exchange Edge Transport and Forefront 2010 installed.”- I’d like to confirm if you have installed FPE 2010, Edge transport and TMG on the same server, if yes, the access rule for allow outbound traffic should be from: LOCALHOST.

Thanks for the reply:
Yes i am able to access above urls from my TMG machine. When i access cdn-microupdates.cloudmark.com, lvc.cloudmark.com and pki.cloudmark.com it redirect me into http://www.cloudmark.com/. but when i open tracks.cloudmark.com i received (This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly.)
i am also able to telnet port 443 of above 3 urls expect tracks.cloudmark.com from TMG machine:
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for the update.
Please define the WinHTTP proxy as per this article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/isablog/archive/2009/11/28/using-windows-server-update-service-for-the-tmg-update-center.aspx. And make sure the proxy is not using NTLM authentication. Only basic authentication is supported with Cloudmark. If the issue still retains, we need analyze the programlog to see the detailed information. Besides that, please update FPE to the latest version: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2619883.
