Security for a day

Got stuck with a bunch of remote support work to do over the weekend, which gave me the time to read through some Ms papers and get the lab working.

This is it so far. One happy Domain fully patched with Forefront happily sitting on all the machines and MOM agents all reporting in the the Forefront box.

No email yet, but will dig out the new and shiny Exchange 2007 cd for a bit of a challenge.

Had a dilemma – Should I install the security agents on the ISA servers? The ol’ defense in depth planning suggests it’s a jolly good idea, but several web site and other ISA notables say otherwise.

Time for a bit of research, me thinks!

Update - ISA servers shouldn’t be used as anything other than firewalls (no playing Quake Wars, surfing porn or reading email , I guess on the box any more then)

So the community feeling is FCS isn’t needed on ISA, but in case you haven’t harden the ISA or don’t trust your fellow admins check out this post on setting it up
