Hello technet friends!
I've been stumped for a week trying to figure this out. In regards to our System Center Endpoint Protection, I see that there are a couple of machines who do not have the Endpoint Protection agent not yet installed. When I click on that list, all the machines have the deployment state as "Unmanaged." When I install SCEP manually on those machines, it still doesn't change it's status.
I've read online that SEP describes managed clients as being configured by the administrator and communicates with a management server within the network. I have a feeling that SCEP is also the same.
I'm not sure if this helps, but my EndpointProtectionAgent.log displays these errors "Failed to get EP event code under registry key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\EPAgent," and "Failed to get EP event message under registry key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\EPAgent."
Please verify if I am on the right path of thought. Also if you can teach me how to change these machines from unmanaged to managed, I can stop pulling my hair out.
