I get the following error any time I try and change any setting:

Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server is unable to perform the requested function. This may be becuase Microsoft ForeFront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft ForeFront services are running and that Windows Powershell is functional.

I have installed the latest rollup for SEP. Rollup 5 I think. I have rebooted the server. I have checked the permissions and they are correct.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Sorry for replying so late.

Did you installed the Rollup 5 via windows update? In addition, did the issue happen after you installed the Rollup 5? I recommend you to check the event log to see if any related error messages exists. In addition, please also check the permission of the Forefront folder.

Best regards,

Susie

I posted a PowerShell-based workaround in the other thread:
