    Hi,
    we have a simple question, can Forefront for OCS also scan OCS WebConferences? (Uploaded Documents)
    Or is the scope only on IM scanning?
    If Ff could not scan WConf´s how can we do Virusscans at the OCS Frontendserver?

    (We have OCS 2007 R2)

    Thanks and Rgds

    Hi Stefan,

    FSOCS only scans IM content and not web conferences at this time. I believe you could set up local anti-virus (e.g. Forefront Client Security) to scan the specific folder handling web conferencing documents on the appropriate server. I don't think there is a hook into OCS for 3rd-party applications to scan web conferencing documents at the moment.
