Hello! I just got my first Windows Server set up, and I'm researching antivirus products. Are there any recommended products for Server 2008? Thanks!

There is no recommendation for just Server 2008. You can use any antivirus software (Microsoft or third party). Here is the information on Microsoft Forefront Client Security. http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/clientsecurity/en/us/default.aspx Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hey, Santhosh! Thanks for the advice. I went to the forefront site and downloaded the antivirus .iso and burned it to disk but it would install (gave me an unkown installation error). So I downloaded the X86 (I'm on a 32-bit Pentium Server) and that gave me an installation error too. Any ideas what might be causing this? -Spaz

Hi I think you are trying to install Forefront client security server not client in the ISO image that you have you will find folder named client, please follow the steps below to install it 1. Point start right click command prompt and use run as administrator 2. In the open window please go to client folder path 3. Type client.exe /nomom The above steps is to install the forefront client

You can install Forefront client as a ‘managed’ or ‘unmanaged’ client. If you don’t have a ForeFront client server, try to install it an ‘unmanaged’ client. Here is the procedure: Clientsetup.exe /nomom http://portal.sivarajan.com/2010/02/microsoft-forefront-client-security.html Also, you can follow these methods to update the FCS definition: http://portal.sivarajan.com/2010/04/forefront-client-security-fcs.html Or if you are looking for a script to install ForeFront on multiple PCs you can try the following script: http://portal.sivarajan.com/2010/01/uninstall-symantec-and-install.html Santhosh Sivarajan | MCTS, MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA, Network+ Houston, TX http://blogs.sivarajan.com/ http://publications.sivarajan.com/ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
