Windows 10: Get-mpcomputerstatus throwing error

Hi,

When I am trying to get result from powershell command "Get-MpComputerStatus" it is throwing below error:





I have checked the WinDefend service it is in started status. Checked event logs it is showing caused due to unknown error.

OS edition : Windows 7 Enterprise

Version : 1709

OS build : 16299.1087

Please help to solve this issue.

:)

 

Why does Powershell return an error for Get-MpComputerStatus ?


Works fine for me using PowerShell as Admin on latest Win10 with Windows Defender running.

 

Why does Powershell return an error for Get-MpComputerStatus ?


Instead it returns

Error: No work available to process

Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.
