    Hello,

    I receive the e-mail alerts when a client gets a virus and it tells me the virus name and the computer name, but it does not tell me if the virus was removed or not.  Is there a configuration I can change to also include the status of the infection?  Also, Can I setup Forefront to send me scheduled reports about my clients such as applied updates, not responded, out of date, etc.?  I am running ForeFront 2010.  I read that I would have to create a script, export the report using a Report ID, and then send the report.  I was hoping for a built-in scheduler?

    Does this rollup install a new client package?  I most often install FF manually at the client by pointing to server\SMSPKGC$ and run FEPinstall.exe

    Hi,

    yes it includes a new version of the FEP client. You can easily deploy the new version using Configuraiton Manager instead.

    Just 2 more questions.  Do I have to deploy this rollup to all my clients so the malware alerts will show the status?  Will I also be able to sechedule reports now?  if so, how can I schedule the reports?

    Hi,

    I actually haven't tried not to update the clients, I would do that as the Update Rollup contains fixes and updates, you can always try it without installting update on the client and see if you get the e.Mail updated.

    You can schedule the reports using the SQL reporting services interface, there you can create a subscription for the available reports, to have them e-mailed automatically.

    regards,
    Jörgen

    How do I go about creating a report subscription in SQL Reporting Services?
