We too are using SCEP and SCCM 2012 and it's been working really well for us so far. SCCM 2012 deploys SCEP as part of the installation for us. Additionally though, for departments that we don't really have in SCCM yet, we still use SCEP and manage it with a GPO. We've been met with a lot of success in both instances. -Ryan From: Drew Perry <aperry () MURRAYSTATE EDU<mailto:aperry () MURRAYSTATE EDU>> Reply-To: "aperry () murraystate edu<mailto:aperry () murraystate edu>" <aperry () murraystate edu<mailto:aperry () murraystate edu>> Date: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 3:28 PM To: "SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>" <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>> Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Microsoft Forefront We are using Microsoft SCEP with SCCM management. We also use GPO's for initial enrollment. This solution helps monitor for "official" rogue devices, that is, machines brought online in University environments but not reported to central Information Systems.

We are running Windows 7 and one of the challenges appears to support for central deployment. It sounds like you are using GPO’s to circumvent this particular issue. -Shaun G.

It has worked well for us and the price point of free is a pretty good option. It’s always better to use two different Anti-Virus/Malware products but so far it’s kept us pretty clean overall. Deployment wise we just either install via GPO or just install as needed (standalone machines). I’ve found that it’s default(s) are to check Microsoft for updates once a day but if you alter a Registry key (via GPO) it will check in for updates twice a day (which is better).

If so can you share your thoughts on the product in terms of performance, deployment, maintenance, etc. The price point (free) makes it a pretty enticing option to replace Symantec Endpoint Security which has been less than stellar.
