ForeFront Client Security - Single server deployment guide

What is ForeFront Client Security (FCS) then? This is a client/server solution that helps scan and remove malware (virus, spyware, rootkit, Trojan...) in client and server operating systems. This is a new product from Microsoft. It uses WSUS 3.0 or Configuration Manager 2007 for distributing agent+definition. All agent policy can be managed remotely using AD Group Policy.

* Slide download (3.4M)

* Demo video download (5.5M). This is for single FCS server deployment.

Troubleshooting NOTE: if after configuring WSUS and approving the FCS agent+definition and the client just downloads only some Windows XP updates but not the agent+definition, the reason might be that the FCS policy has not yet been created and deployed, therefore the client (WinXP) machine does not see the agent+definition as necessary updates (the wuauclt /detectnow will report that 0 updates are found in the \windows\WindowsUpdate.log)

* The 120-day evaluation (of both FCS server and agent) can be downloaded from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb738009.aspx
