HI I have a SCCM 2007 R3 server in Mixed mode. Single primary site with single box having SQL 2008 R2 Back end. currently i'm deploying software updates, software distributions and OSD. we are looking forward to go with Forefront endpoint protection. all the prerequisite are met and i'm ready for install. i want solutions for following concerns 1 Forefront endpoint protection to be High Available. 2 Forefront Endpoint protection Updates deployment should be High available with SCCM. 3 If SCCM SUP goes down can i send forefront updates through WSUS ? (for existing forefront clients) 4 If i used NLB for SCCM, is it gonna effect of Forefront Protection ? Please provide me a urgent solution for this... Thank and regards. Asitha De Silva Asitha

You can place the SUP in a NLB and configure addiontional distribution points. The SQL server is cluster aware.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Hi Torsten Thanks for answering. I cannot virtualize the Current SCCM 2007. I’m considering on placing it on NLB. But I have a real doubt on that. SCCM High availability comes to play when we integrate it with forefront protection. So I need a HA solution to forefront protection. Is it possible to send updates through WSUS for forefront clients ? Asitha

Forefront clients will be protected, you will just lose reporting and updating if SCCM dies. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

Hi Is there another way to send definition updates to Forefront clients if i loos the SCCM ?Asitha

You can configure multiple places where the clients can look for updates. Take a look here for the different possibilities: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412502.aspxMy Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/ Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude

Hi all Ok i'm going with NLB. first i'm gonna deploy forefront, and create secondary policy for WSUS, if my SUP in SCCM failed some how, I can use WSUS GPO for sending forefront updates. next slowly i will deploy NLB for SUP in SCCM. Thanks for everyone..Asitha
