    I lease a dedicated Windows 2003 SP2 server from Godaddy.

    I would like to use Forefront Client Security to protect it.

    Do I need to install all components (remember, the server is "isolated" from my LAN, so I have no desktops or servers to manage or protect).

    Is there a way to install only a subset of the components?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    According to your description, I suggest you install FCS client without MOM agent(clientsetup /nomom) on the Windows  Server 2003. And you can get definition updates from Microsoft Update. For more information, please refer to the following article

    Thank you Nick,

    I read the article and makes a lot of sense to me.

    I'll give it a try tomorrow saturday and let you know how it goes.

    Nick,

    I installed the client without MOM.

    I noticed one thing: The context menu for files in Windows Explorer does not show "Scan with Forefront Security Client" as an option.

    I guess the problem is that I have installed a very old version of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition (from year 2000) and did not uninstall it (I just stopped the service and changed its startup option to manual). The reason I did not unistall NAV is I rather see for a few days if everything goes fine before getting rid of it (I am afraid that if I need to go back, I can find problem installing it again).

    Thank you for your help.

    Unfortunately v1 fcs does not have shell integration to do a "scan with fcs"  v2 will have this functionality.

    Thank you for your answer Kurt,

    Other missing good functionality would be:

    1. To be able to save custom scans
    2. To be able to invoke a custom scan from the commnad line.

    Thank you again.

    yep I know there has been talk about possibly getting a cmd line tool for custom scans but not sure where thats at if it will happen for v1 or not.  Saving them not sure I had seen that request before .. guessing a cmd line option would probably alleviate need for that as you could just have a script file with all the various custom scans you wanted.
