Get-MpComputerStatus returns no output

Hello,

 

on a Server 2019 with windows defender installed in the "Windows Security GUI" all is fine.

Protection definitions are up to date, exclusions are set ... (managed with SCCM)

 

But when i use the Get-MpComputerStatus it returns no output. (not even an error)

 

Please help.

    Hello,
    I have the resemble issue on Server 2019 (4 servers all Dell OEM).
    When I use the Get-MpComputerStatus it returns no output. Get-MpPreference also returns no output.
    But Get-Command -Module Defender returns output as usual.

    The status of Windows Defender antivirus on the SERVER MANAGER dashboard marked "unknown". But I can actually do quick scan etc. Other parts of Windows defender antivirus seems good. like It do update the security patch automatically.

    I've tried uninstall/reinstall the Windows Defender antivirus. But don't work. Don't know how to fix it.

    Anybody got the same issue or have any idea to deal with this?
    Maybe Windows Update patch will fix this?

      When you run the command 

      what do you see in the Windows Event Log 

      Application and Services Log \ Microsoft \ Windows \ PowerShell \Operational

        There are no entries in that log when I execute any of the Get-Mp* commands.
