Steps to Update the FIPFS Engine Manually:

Microsoft has also released a script at  https://aka.ms/ResetScanEngineVersion that automates the process and can be run in parallel over all your servers.

Remove existing engine and metadata

1. Stop the Microsoft Filtering Management service.  When prompted to also stop the Microsoft Exchange Transport service, click Yes.

2. Use Task Manager to ensure that updateservice.exe is not running.

3. Delete the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\FIP-FS\Data\Engines\amd64\Microsoft

4. Remove all files from the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\FIP-FS\Data\Engines\metadata

Update to latest engine

1. Start the Microsoft Filtering Management service and the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.

2. Open the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Scripts folder (%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Scripts), and run .\Update-MalwareFilteringServer.ps1 -Identity <server FQDN> -EngineUpdatePath "http://forefrontdl.microsoft.com/server/scanengineupdate"

3. Wait about 15 minutes for it to complete.

4. Check the Application Event Log, while filtering for event source FIPFS.  Event 6030 indicates a successful start, 6033 indicates final success

Verify engine update info

1. In the Exchange Management Shell, run Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Forefront.Filtering.Management.Powershell.

2. Run Get-EngineUpdateInformation and verify the UpdateVersion information is 2112330001.

After updating the engine, Microsoft also recommend that you verify that mail flow is working and that FIPFS error events are not present in the Application event log.
