Re: Microsoft Forefront

["Lucas, Bryan" <b.lucas () TCU EDU>]

When I discussed the desktop piece with the team at TechEd, the
roadblocks were it required admin rights on the client, no support for
other operating systems, and had to be joined to the domain.   We could
overcome two of those on the Fac/Staff side, but not for the students.

 

Still looking at the Exchange piece.

Subject: [SECURITY] Microsoft Forefront

 

I am interested in any specific technical experiences regarding use of
Microsoft Forefront for desktops or Exchange 2007.

 

Things I am most interested in:

Has anyone had it actually miss any major malware (or, at least in any
larger numbers than any other one product)

Brief descriptions of any experience with centralized management, ease
of deployment and such

End user experience versus other major products (McAfee, Symantec,
Sophos, etc)

 

Thanks,
