what about IE 10
yea, the client was again receiving updates from the SEPM server.
I resolved the no updates problem as per advice from this forum by uninstalling the IE 9 update. However, Proactive Threat Protection has remained disabled because "Protection Definitions too old" even though the virus definitions are current. The fix button is ineffective. Other clients are OK. Any suggestion?
Yes, was racking my brain trying to figure it out and then it hit me, the updates stopped on a client about the time ie9 beta was installed. Uninstalled ie9 back to ie8 and presto! The client was once again receiving updates from the SEPM server.
