Still no support for SQL clustering?
Still no support for SQL clustering?
- According to the notes on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc441281.aspx it is still not supported to use SQL clustering for Stirling components. I hope this will be fixed for the RTM.
For the enterprise (5000 clients and up) HA is not optional but a real must. This is one of the problems in FCS 1.0 and really must be fixed in Stirling.

- Hello!
Yes, we are planning for clustering support for Stirling RTM. Since Beta 1 is a lab-only release, we focused on getting the core functionality enabled. As we move forward with Beta 2 (production ready), we will be targeting key areas like this
Thanks

Chris Sfanos / Forefront Client Security PM - Hi Chris, thanks for your answer.
Can you please clarify for me, what is the purpose of this beta? Do you want feedback on features or technical issues? Where do you want feedback, this newsgroups? - Jetze Mellema said:

Chris, or another MSFT, can you please answer this question? Thanks. - Hi Jetze
The goals of Forefront "Stirling" beta are two-fold - we want to get the product in front of customers so they can get a feel for the next release and see the new experiences provided by the centralized management and assessment sharing across the client, server and edge. And yep, bugs is the other big item. As this is a Beta 1, there are going to be lots of fit-n-finish items that weren't included (dialog boxes that may not line up, or text that gets clipped off, etc). No need to post those items, as the code/UX will undergo several changes between now and the next release
We would be very interested in core features that just don't work (ex: I tried to deploy a policy and it crashed, or stuff like that). Also, we'd like to hear about your overall experience with the product - as a central mgmt platform, does it provide you the data you need to fully understand your enterprise security state? Does it have the right "feel" for managing the various protection technologies, etc?
You can definitely post all that feedback to the newsgroups
THanks
