  • Cannot save any changes - Microsoft Forefront 2010 for exchange is unable to perform the requested function

    HI, I have Forefront 2010 for Exchange installed for an Exchange 2007 SP2 running on Windows 2003 x64 SP2. Exchange has all roles installed on the same server. 
    When I try to save any change on Forefront I got the following message:
    Microsoft Forefront 2010 for Exchange is unable to perform the requested function. This may be because Forefront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft Forefront services are running and that WindowsPower Shell is functional
    Well, our FF services are running and PowerShell is functional. I checked some forums and found some problems when there is entries in the IP Allow / Block lists in Exchange UI. I removed those entries but problem remains.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    In my case, I was able to work around this issue by using  PowerShell directly.  For example, to run an on-demand scan for all mailboxes, this worked:
    #open EMS
    $aliases = (get-mailbox -result unlimited).alias
    Add-PsSnapin FSSPSSnapin
    set-FseOnDemandScan -MailboxList $aliases
    Start-FseOnDemandScan -EnableVirusScan $true
    Windows 2008 R2 SP1
    Exchange 2010 SP3, RU9
    PowerShell 4.0 present on the machine (though EMS runs PS 2.0)
    Forefront PowerShell cmdlets:

  • Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server - where to look in GUI

    Hi there!
    We have configured Forefront for Exchange on Edge server.
    We have created a test subject filter and sent a test mail.
    On the Administrator Console under dashboards we see that message was blocked due to spam, but we cannot find in GUI some briefer details regarding this blocked message.
    How can we see in this administration console GUI which exactly message has been blocked?
    Having just dashboards and not being able to open and check every blocked message is a problem.
    Please advice
    With best regards

    I get the following error any time I try and change any setting:
    Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server is unable to perform the requested function. This may be becuase Microsoft ForeFront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft ForeFront services are running and that Windows Powershell is

    I have installed the latest rollup for SEP. Rollup 5 I think. I have rebooted the server. I have checked the permissions and they are correct.
    Any thoughts?

  • Removing Forefront Protection for Exchange

    I am looking into moving away from Forefront Protection for Exchange since it can't be renewed (prob to Cisco Ironport).
    What exactly do I need to do remove it completely?
    Current set up:
    Exchange 2010 behind Forefront TMG.
    Forefront Protection for Exchange used to block spam and scan for viruses.
    I believe there is a edge subscription between TMG and Exchange
    Exchange transport role installed on TMG server
    Heath

    Hi,
    when FPE is integrated into TMG you first should disable the E-Mail protection in TMG. After that FPE runs indepented and you can simply uninstall it like any other installation.
    Greetings
    Christian
    Christian Groebner MVP Forefront
    Hi Christian
    Could you be more specific as to exactly what in TMG will "disable the E-Mail protection in TMG" as it relates to the uninstallation of FPE?
    E.g. In TMG, on the "E-Mail Policy" tree node with the focus on the "E-Mail Policy" tab, there are 3 configurable items that I'm unsure of will achieve the above. These are:
    "E-Mail Policy" : Enabled
    "Protection Manager Integration" : Enabled
    "Email Policy Integration Mode" : Enabled
    Any specific one of the above or all?
    Thanks

  • Spam notification on Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server

    Hello
    I'm using Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server on edge Exchange2010 SP2.
    I did know I can't configure any notification for detected spam, because the result would be that the users inbox would be spammed with Forefront notifications instead of the real spam.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/forefront/en-US/6c293ded-8e61-44a1-ac25-bb685ecd1c7c/notification-spam-forefront-for-exchange-2010
    But I can't find the Forefront notifications in tracking logs.
    Is it usual ?
    if not, why the Forefront notifications was't send?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi,
    I checked smtp log of our Exchange server.
    But I think I can't search the logs.
    Could you please tell me the word of error on smtp

  • Discontinuing Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange

    Hi
    Microsoft is discontinuing any further releases of Forefont Protection 2010 for Exchange Server:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
    We have a lot of customers with on-premises Exchange Servers, to which we sold Forefont Protection 2010 for Exchange Server.
    What is the alternative for that product, Forefront Online Protection?
    What is the Scenario, if a customer don't want his mx record to point to Microsoft?
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi,
    I'm sorry but yesterday I was working with a customer.
    This is going to be a long post :-)
    Exchange 2010 has no native antivirus/malware protection. This kind of protection is provided by Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange.
    Those filters provide antispam protection therefore from this point of view I wouldn't consider them a replacement for Groupshield AV protection on Exchange 2010.
    This is the fast answer :-)
    Let's move to the longer one.
    There are going to be a lot of assumptions because I don't know your environment at all and this is something which should be carefully planned and tailored based on your business needs.
    Assumptions:
    You have an Exchange 2010 Organization
    There are no Edge servers
    You are following the common scenario with an AV for Exchange (Groupshield) running on Hub and Mailbox servers, Postini for Inbound/Outbound traffic protection from AV and SPAM (MX record pointing to Postini) and an AV for Filesystem running on the Exchange
    servers
    You are planning to move to Exchange 2013 in the future (let's say 6 months/1 year from now)
    You are open to discuss a Microsoft-oriented solution without 3rd party software
    We are not going to discuss licensing (we are lucky and someone else will decide for us :-))
    We are not going to discuss the differences between Postini/Groupshield/Forefront/Exchange agents because I don't know them well enough to tell you something which would make sense and I'm still discussing if it was better the Commodore 64 or the Amiga
    (obviously Commodore 64)
    We are looking for a solution which should cover as many scenarios as possible
    Short-term objective: Achieve antivirus/antispam protection on Exchange 2010 and get rid of Groupshield (and may be of Postini with it)
    Long-term objective: Migrate to 2013 and leverage the antimalware and antispam agents included in the product
    Act 1 - Short-term objective:
    Inbound/outbound traffic:
    The antispam agents can be installed on an Exchange 2010 Hub server but the place where they should be used is the Edge server.
    Solution 1: Replace Postini with 2 Exchange 2010 Edge servers (MX record pointing to the Edge servers). Antivirus protection will be provided by Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange (FPE) . Antispam protection by Exchange 2010 and FPE (which expands the antispam
    capabilities of Exchange 2010)
    Solution 2: Replace Postini with Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE)
    Internal traffic:
    Solution: FPE will replace Groupshield on the Hub servers. No antispam agents installed. FPE will be installed as a Transport Agent
    Database Content (aka all that stuff that doesn't pass through transport):
    Not all Exchange data are passing through the Hub transport (i.e. Drafts, Calendar, Contacts, Public Folders, etc...)
    Solution 1: FPE will replace Groupshield on the Mailbox servers. FPE will leverage the Virus API (VSAPI) to access the content of the Store
    Solution 2: The AV installed on your clients has an Outlook plug-in which scans the content of the store client-side
    This should provide enough AV/antispam protection and you will have an homogeneous solution where all components are able to interact smoothly (Outlook Junk Mail, Antispam agents, safe senders, safe recipients, etc...) without much effort in terms of 3rd
    party plug-ins, different administration consoles, different places where you have to check if the message has been blocked.
    I know what is going to be the fate of Forefront but this is to meet our short-term/immediate objectives. From now on we will have until December 2015 to plan our migration to Exchange 2013.
    The screen fades to black. Voice-over announces that you migrated to Exchange 2013 :-)
    Act 2 - Long-term objective:
    Inbound/Outbound traffic:
    Solution 1: Leverage the AV and antispam agents on your published MBX/CAS servers
    Solution 2: Use FOPE
    Internal Traffic:
    Solution: Leverage the AV agent on your MBX/CAS servers
    Database content:
    In Exchange 2013 the VSAPI is dead. Any AV for Exchange will have to use transport agents on Exchange 2013. The only possible exceptions is using Web Services for the On-demand scan of a limited number of mailboxes.
    Solution: The AV installed on your clients has an Outlook plug-in which scans the content of the store client-side
    The screen fades to black. Credits.
    There are a few considerations related to these design changes which demonstrates that IMHO they are a good choice but they would be too long to discuss in this post and they would probably be OT. I'm thinking to write a blog when I'll have some time.
    IMPORTANT: These are just my 2 pence. You should discuss this with someone which knows your infrastructure. The above solutions are at best incomplete because there a lot more factors which come into play when choosing a design like this.
    My personal advice is to involve your TAM (if you have one) and work with my colleagues to find the solution best suited for your company.
    Bye

  • Forefront Server Protection 2010 for Exchange: Notifications behaving differently on E2007/2010

    Hi all and happy holidays:
    I have this particular situation with two client FSPE implementations recently.
    I got one one client with a single E2007 server with FSPE v.11.0.713.0 and another one with a single E2010 server with FSPE v.11.0.713.0. I configured 'Keyword Filter Match' email notifications to Administrators and, to Internal Senders notifying them
    not to use certain keywords in the future. The configuration of the notifications is exaclty the same and is using the following fields in the body of the message:
    %Product% has detected a blocked keyword match on a message you sent.
          Filter Name: "%Filter%"
          State:  "%State%"
          Subject line:  "%Message%"
          Sender:  "%ISAddress%%ESAddress%"
          Recipients: "%IRAddresses%%ERAddresses%"
          Scan job:  "%ScanJob%"
          Location:  "%Company%/%Site%/%Server% (%Folder%)"
    Certain kewords are not allowed through this mail system as they may be offensive to others. Please refrain from using this word(s) in the future. If you believe you received this in error, contact your system administrator.
    Notifications are working great, detecting when a user is Internal Sender  and delivering the message correctly but here's the issue:
    1. On the E2007 system, when the user/administrator get the notification from FSPE, the %Filter% field it displays the actual keyword that that was used:
    Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has detected a keyword filter match.
    Filter name:  "English Profanity: <RealUglyWord>;English Profanity: <RealUglyWord>"
    2. On the E2010 system however, when the user/administrator get the email notifications, the %Filter% field only displays the name of the keyword list:
    Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has detected a keyword filter match.
          Filter Name: "English Profanity"
    No biggie you may think but, the issue is that the user has no way to know for sure which words should not use. Of course they can call the Administrator but this will cause uneeded calls to the helpdesk IMO. In the case of English profanity, it may
    be obvious but, in the case of other keyword lists, it may not be so obvious. For example, I also have another keyword list blocking racist terms. To some people the word 'gringo' may be offensive, but not to others. IMO, it should not be used
    at all, and I am hispanic. In any case, the user needs to know for sure which words are being blocked and not to use it IAW company policy and know that the message was not delivered. Similar keyword lists are in use on both clients for "Spam-like
    language', 'Sexual harassment', etc, etc so, this is an important client requierement and part of their 'Suitable Working Envrionment' policy and enforcement.
    Hope anybody has any ideas on how to fix it.
    Regards,
    Fred Larracuente

  • Renewal of Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server until EOL

    Hello,
    We have a Open Value subscription for Forefront Protection for Exchange Server 2010 (FPE) running with an Exchange 2007 server and an Edge Server.  We attempted to renew the subscription to FPE and were automatically upgraded to FOPE and now EOP.
    Since FPE is not End of Life yet, might it be possible to renew FPE on premises until such time as the product goes End of Life? 
    thank you,
    Dan

    Hello,
    FPE on premises was available only as a subscription license in OV, OVS. for subscription products thre is not possibility to renew th elicensing if is removed from product list.
    you can purchase FOPE(in OVS) or EOP as online subscription. you can use also EOP for on premises Exchnage Server.
    on Microsoft document we have th efollowing info:
    The following are the primary ways you can use EOP for messaging protection:
    In a standalone scenario   EOP provides cloud-based email protection for your "on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment, legacy Exchange Server versions,
    or for any other on-premises SMTP email solution."
    As a part of Microsoft Exchange Online   By default, EOP protects Microsoft Exchange Online cloud-hosted mailboxes.
    In a hybrid deployment   EOP can be configured to protect your messaging environment and control mail routing when you have a mix of on-premises and cloud mailboxes.
    note: EOP replaces Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE). All FOPE customers will be transitioned to EOP, as described in the
    Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) transition center. EOP delivers the protection and control provided by FOPE, and also includes additional features.
    What's new in Exchange Online Protection describes some of these features.
    thanks

  • Forefront protection for exchange 2010 - updates?

    Installed Exchange EDGE server with Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010.
    Installed hotfix update rollup 4 for forefront (I think it's the latest because I haven't found any newer).
    We have basically left everything on default in forefront, and if we take a look on dashboard in gui we see this error message:
    not all the antimalware engines selected in the forefront adminstration console for scanning have been enabled for updates.
    where should we take a look whats not being updated. Please a little help.

  • Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange and CorruptedCompressedFile issue

    Hi
    I have an issue where a third-party vendor is using Cisco Prime management software to email zipped reports to various recipients on our system. However, when it hits our system, Forefront is tagging this as a "CorruptedCompressedFile"
    and stripping it from the emails.
    I've had the email sent to a personal email account and the attachment looks ok - it opens normally and there is no password. If I use Windows 7 to extract the single file and then create a new zip file, this new zip file is delivered fine to users in our
    system.
    We are running Exchange 2010 (14.03.0174.001) and Forefront Protection for Exchange (11.0.727.0).
    The file is a csv, and one example is only 2.5MB compressed, and 15MB uncompressed.
    Does anyone know what could be causing the issue here?
    Thanks
    Paul

    HI,
    In general, the files that FPE is unable to parse will be scanned as a corrupted compressed file and it can be due to multiple reasons.
    Please check the FSEAgentLog under %Program Files (x86)%\Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server\Data
    to see if any detailed information exists.
    Firstly, I recommend you to check the maximum compressed file size to make sure that it is larger than that file. You can clickPolicy
    Management in the FPE Administrator Console, and under
    Global Settings, click Advanced Options, then in the
    Global Settings - Advanced Options pane, under the Threshold Levels section.
    In addition,
    files identified as corrupted are quarantined by default. You can override quarantining for these file types by clearing the
    Quarantine corrupted compressed files
    check box under the
    Deletion Criteria
    section in the Global Settings - Advanced Options pane,,
    and then clicking
    Save. However, it is not recommended to do this as it may cause all the files identified as corrupted are not quarantined.
    Best regards,
    Susie
