This issue has been solved. See solution.

SEPM is reporting out of date intrusion prevention signatures for a few of my servers.  I am not running NTP on them but cannot clear these errors from my dashboard.  I have the same policy and install of 48 other servers and only these two show as problems.  Everything else is up to date and functioning as expected.  How do I clear these two from the dashboard?
Thanks

Withdraw the firewall policy

Withdraw the firewall policy form the group.

Since you do not install the NTP on the servers, you will not have App/Dev Cont and IPS. Hence you only need the Av/As, AutoUpdate and centralized exception policies on the servers group and withdraw the other policies.

Thanks for the response.  The

Thanks for the response.  The deployment package pushes only AV/AS.  No firewall at all.  Yes, the dashboard is what displays as the issue.  When you look at the client, they are green and communicating with proper defs.  Under the security status details summary these 2 show signature failures for IPS.  Computer Name, IP are populated but IPS box does not.  However, I am only running AV/AS and just would like this cleared.
Thanks for the time
Bill

What is the version that you are at?

De facto when AV does something, it starts jumping up and down, waving its arms, and shouting "Hey!  I found a virus!  Look at me!  I'm soooo goooood!"

Check the Liveupdate content

Check the Liveupdate content policy settings. I think it has some configuration missing.

We went from SAV 10.X to

We went from SAV 10.X to 11.0.2 to 1a.  I never did much logging with it as I knew we would be upgrading.  After running the comparisons on the policies and double checking clients, I just determined that enough time had been spent on it and it was just better to move ahead with the upgrade.
Thanks
