    MpCmdRun.exe Undocumented Option


    Hello,


    On some windows 10 workstation in our organization, I am seeing the following log entry:

    "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\platform\4.18.2008.9-0\MpCmdRun.exe" GetDeviceTicket -AccessKey <RANDOM_HEX_STRING>


    I've been trying to find documentation on the GetDeviceTicket option, but can't seem to find anything. It is not an option presented in the mpcmdrun.exe command line help file.


    Is anyone able to provide any information on this option? I'd just like to understand what this is.


    Thank you for any help you can provide.


    Regards,


    Chris

    :)

  2. MpCmdRun killing my internet connection after installing creators update

    Hi Brian,

    The MpCmdRun.exe is associated with the Windows Defender program and is located in
    C:\Program Files\Windows Defender. There are malicious programs that uses the same name so you won't suspect that it is malware. To check if this process is a malicious program, you can follow these steps:

    • Right-click Start and select Task Manager.
    • Under the Process tab, locate the MpCmdRun.
    • Right-click MpCmdRun and select Open file location.

    If the location is C:\Program Files\Windows Defender, then the system is safe and secure. If the location is elsewhere then we suggest that you run a virus and malware scan on your computer.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
