Hi,
My original problem was that FCS was not updating from WSUS. Then after reading up, and trying a whole lot of different things I managed to break it further. Now I cannot open the Microsoft Forefront Client Security Console on the management server, The Administrator Console and the Operator Console cannot connect to the Management server (They are on the management server)
As a side note: The reporting hasn't worked at all, not even after the last Systems Admin reloaded the whole FCS implementation.
I need assistance to get everything working again, and I think it might take a while to get everything resolved.
I don't know what information to provide so here is some to start with:
I believe this is a on server topology:
1. There is the management server, with all the roles except the "distribution" role installed.
2. The updates to FCS are set to go through our WSUS server.
3. The WSUS server works fine in all regards except to push the FCS updates through (I release other MS updates every week and they all go through)
4. Management server is 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard with SP1, with Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (Unsure of SP1 is installed, but I think it is), and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (It doesn't have the SQL Studio thing)
5. I have domain admin credentials
6. When opening the Microsoft Forefront Client Security console it crashes with a "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it". Clicking on ok gives a new error page of exception: "System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException"
7. Opening the Operator console give a message of "Error connecting to server" and clicking on ok brings up the console settings where you specify the MOM management server etc
8. Opening the Administrator conolse immediately brings up the "Connect to a different MOM Management Server" window.
I am hoping that someone here can ask the right questions and helped get through all these issues to get this system working again
