Deploying Forefront Endpoint Protection Updates via System Center Configuration Manager

Out of the box FEP provides several channels for delivering definition updates to clients. The three basic options are, updates through WSUS/SUP, UNC file shares and connecting to Microsoft Updates. The procedure in this video presents a 4th option, which further leverages the capabilities and resources of SCCM. Essentially the procedure uses a VBS script running in task scheduler to pull delta definitions from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, then SCCM bundles them into a package which is then pushed out to your Distribution Points and advertised to your FEP clients (on a re-occurring schedule).
