How do I get FEP to reinstall on a client from the 1

That is a very broad question:

You need to set policy.  Under the client settings, Endpoint Protection you need to have it set to Install for the machines. If you set it on the default policy then all machines will install and manage. If you create a new Client Setting then you will need to deploy it.  Machines will pull down their policy, see that they should be running SCEP

Manage Endpoint Protection client on client machine:yes

Install Endpoint Protection Client on client computers:yes

I have pushed out the client to a PC, the install of FEP fails because the previous version was not removed.  After a manually removing FEP that came from 2007, how can I force the install ?

Hi,

Try setting 

"Automatically remove previously installed antimalware software before Endpoint Protection is installed"

Within client settings.

• Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 is listed as one of the products it will try and remove.

That is set, I have two clients that failed in the removal process. 

Is there no way to deploy FEP except when installing the client?

I think if you look in the endpointprotection.log file it shows the command line used to install SCEP

So then the answer is no you cannot redeploy FEP.   You have to do a manual install?

I think the it will attempt to reinstall SCEP after a short period of time automatically as long as it's enabled properly.
