Microsoft Scan engine failing to update

Just as a heads up.

We are seeing cases where the Microsoft scan engine is failing to update in Forefront Protection for Exchange with the following errors.

6019 GetEngineFiles An error occurred while testing the scan engine.

6012 GetEngineFiles An error occurred while loading the scan engine. Scan Engine: Microsoft. Error Code: 0x80004005.

This only seems to be effecting FPE and not other products that the Microsoft engine is included with.

We are working to resolve this issue and it should be resolved automatically once the cause is found. I will update this post if there is any change to how the fix will be delivered.

The only Impact is that the engine fails to update. All other engines are updating correctly and this should not effect mail flow and the other engines should provide coverage for new viruses.
