2. Monitoring · Sep 28, 22:10 UTC
   A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results. The Kaseya R&D team confirmed with Microsoft counterparts that the issue was caused by misclassification of the 15.1.1 Datto RMM version's cagservice.exe in a recent security intelligence update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware. This issue was fixed in the security intelligence update version 1.459.450.0, and the issue should no longer occur on device's with this definition version or later. Microsoft currently does not offer an automated way to revert the quarantining of a file, therefore manual action is required to bring affected devices back online in Datto RMM. We recommend our partners to ensure that devices are updated with security intelligence version 1.459.450.0 or later to avoid the agent being falsely flagged as malicious by Microsoft antimalware. Users can use the below commands and instructions to ensure that the latest security intelligence update is installed on the device to prevent the behavior: Updating the security intelligence version: - PowerShell: Update-MpSignature - Command Prompt (CMD): MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate After running the update, users can verify the installed version with the following command: - Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object AntivirusSignatureVersion, AntivirusSignatureLastUpdated
