Proposed Answer"Stirling" Next Generation Forefront Client & Server Console Questions

    Ok a few questions on the "Stirling" Next Generation Forefront Client & Server Console.

    I have the test all-on-one server up and it has pushed out a Client app along with the SC Config Client to the end user.

    One of my quesitons is there a end user console? The only options even to a admin is Start Quick Scan, Check for Update, Manage Quarantied Items, and view network restrication status on a end user machine.. If you are on a client how can you tell if the Def are up to the most current date. Also how do you stop a quick scan that is in progress? There is no left or right click options on the icon as it is scanning.

    On the Stirling Console when you are on dashboard then deployment summary it will let you drill down on the pie chart to see the PC that are in each group put on the Antimalware summary it will not let you drill down to see the computer that have the signatures or the ones that have malware requiring action. How do you check those?

    Just a few things and I know the product is still in beta and not the released version but just check to see the funcationaly now before release.

    Thanks Josh

    Hey Josh
    Thanks for posting - in Beta 1, we do not have the client UX available.  It's targeted for our Beta 2 release.

    Also, the dashboard controls and reports should be more complete in Beta 2, so you should be able to see this data

    Hope this helps
    Thanks
    Chris

    Just a note:

    I am in the auto industry.  I assume this goes for other industries as well.

    Our technicians can NOT go into a customer plant without showing them that their virus scanner is up to date.

    We use CA and it doess not install a client gui by default.
    I had to have the employees go back to their hotel, then I could remote their laptop and install the client GUI.

    Hopefully this is in the release version of ForFront Client 2.0
