We have a windows server 2008 R2, and we've run the patches located at the KB article linked in the ESET article and ran windows update several times. The local ESET install isn't showing yellow or reporting any problems. How do I clear the Azure Code Signing alert? Or is it informative and doesn't clear? Is there any command or something I can do to verify that Azure Code Signing support has been installed/enabled and is running?

Ok figured out what the issue was, it seems under the default policy for our anti-virus, under settings, user interface, user interface elements and under the "Configure license-related application statuses", which itself is odd because all the application statuses are in here not just license related ones. The "Windows Updates available" checkboxes were unchecked, specifically the 'Send' one that shows the notifications in the console. I am not sure if this was unchecked by an update or probably someone trying to fix an earlier issue, not placing blame, but once I checked it, I was able to get the workstations that were needing windows updates to show back up in yellow again. So there you go, guess it was the result of a little tinkering.

My issue is, I dont get any of that, none of my outdated computers turn yellow, nor show up in the dynamic group under "Computers with outdated operating systems" When I was researching the issue I found this thread: Where I don't know who this person was quoting from, but if the severity was lowered from warning to informative, I'm assuming that means the computers won't turn yellow anymore nor would the dynamic group work since it wouldn't be reported as a "functionality problem" that the template listens for. and I'm also assuming this change would extend to the endpoint product as well. If that isn't the case I apologize for the misunderstanding, and in that case, need to find out why my computers aren't turning yellow or showing up in the dynamic group.

Actually I'm glad that ESET doesn't follow what my WSUS server says, because that's kind of the root of the problem, which is my WSUS isn't pushing out all the updates. (probably because I haven't configured it right) So I often have to tell my workstations to check Microsoft update to get the missing updates. What I want is for ESET to say "Hey these computers needs updating" as per microsoft, so I can address those workstations, figure out what updates my WSUS server isn't pushing out and tweak it till it does. then after solving that short term problem, also use ESET to make it easy for me to readily identify what workstations need updates when they do. (Ideally the list will shrink to zero on it's own during patch day. But at the least if there is an issue, I know what workstations need attention, so I don't have to firm wide check every pc on the floor just to find the ones that are having issues.)

I have those settings, but I remember reading a thread somewhere, where the severity has been changed from warning to informative and the workstations no longer show up as yellow alerts anymore. And in general when I go into machines I know are out of date, Im not getting any status on the OS being out of date.

I know that sometime last year, 2022, when version 9 came out ESET changed something in regards to how the ERA/Protect console detects when computers need or don't need updates. I think it was something about changing the severity of the alert from warning to informative. I would like to know how I can access those alerts and perhaps use a dynamic group to put all the workstations needing windows updates into a group I can keep track of. The windows update detection was a good way of having feedback to know when workstations were being updated and when they were not and I would really like that functionality back in some form. Either by ESET making it available again, or at the least if there is someway I can do it from my end with dynamics groups or something.
