I think Microsoft makes available the latest version of Antigen (v4 or something) if you have Exchange 2003. The new Forefront for Exchange brand applies to the product they sell for Ex2007

Tim, thank you for that information, I'll read the docs and see what decision I make on the product. As for consoles, that's alright as well, just as others on this list, one console would be nice, but we all use multiple consoles. Just out of curiosity, from what I just briefly read, the exchange component is only for 2k7? Will it work on 2k3?

The Exchange piece of Forefront used to be Antigen prior to Microsoft acquiring it, so it a pretty well known product. It is definitely feasible to use Forefront for all of your anti-malware needs, but they don't all run from the same "Forefront" console if that is what you are looking for.

That's what I'm a bit confused by, there is a client, server and exchange, sharepoint and the CIO wants to get rid of the existing products and go one solution. Is that feasible? Has there been a proven track that the product works against an outbreak or so forth?

Which part of Forefront are you considering? There is Forefront for Clients, for Exchange, for SharePoint and for other things that I'm sure I'm not thinking of right now. I use Forefront on my Exchange 2007 servers and like it very much so far. Works great and you can't beat the price. Tim From: Thomas Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 11:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: ms forefront? Does anyone have any experience with MS Forefront? Any caveats to this product? The CIO brought this up in a meeting and questioned the use in our environment for this app. However, I have no experience or knowledge and thought I asked the list on this product.
