Forefront Client Security installed on File/Application servers?

[Guest Richard Perry]

My CTO is looking for specific evidence that installing Forefront Client

Security on a Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise R2 SP2) file server is a

necessary step. For the last 2 years, we ran NOD32 on our servers (and

clients), but have recently migrated to Forefront.

 

Can anyone point me to documentation that states that FCS is a valid

software package for a file server? I can see it is a supported client,

meets the system requirements, but I can't find anything that says "You need

anti-virus on your servers, and FCS is a good choice for that".

Hello Richard,

 

Thank you for using newsgroup!

 

Based on my knowledge, there is no separate edition of Forefront Client

Security for File/Application server. For more related information about

requirement of Forefront Client Security, please refer to:

Microsoft Forefront Client Security system requirements
