Forefront for exchange 2010 setup wizard preinstall update request

I'm trying to install FPE, but even before I install and after the extraction of the files im getting the following error message on both my CAS servers.
I have the following roles installed on this Client Access Server im using for the initial install of Forefront.
Do I need to install active directory domain services before I continue.

Hi,
Firstly, please refer to the similar thread below:
FSEMachinePrep.exe
fails saying Server Unavailable
Based on my research,
Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server (FPE) can be deployed on Exchange Edge Transport, Hub Transport, Mailbox server, or combined
Hub/Mailbox roles.
Exchange 2010 requires Active Directory to be in place except for the Exchange 2010 Edge role (for DMZ) which can be deployed in a workgroup with Active Directory Lightweight
Directory Services. Both Exchange (Mailbox, HUB and CAS role) and therefore FPE requires an Active Directory on site.
Did you set up a domain environment for exchange server? If yes, please check the group membership of the user and make sure that it is a member of the Organization
Management role group. In addition, please also make sure that you can connect to the primary domain controller on the CAS servers.

Forefront for exchange 2010 - how long?

Hi there.
Read this article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
I would have additional question.
Our company is MS Gold Partner and we need to renew our yearly license every year around AUGUST.
We are thinking about changing our SPAM filter external gateway with exchange edge, but as we can see from that article, you Will be unable to renew it license after December 2015.
I know that Microsoft offers online Forefront protection but that is not option in our case because of data sensitivity.We need an answer how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
I guess after 2015 december Forefront Exchange 2010 Will no longer recieve spam updates thru Windows update, right?
And also engines Will not be updated after that date?
Is this the correct view and understanding?
with best regards

Hi Bostjanc,
>>how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?

Uninstall Forefront for Exchange 2010

I have acquired another spam filter appliance that will used instead of Forefront for Exchange 2010.
How do I uninstall Forefront for Exchange 2010 without any issues while still using Exchange 2010.
Basically the email will go through the email appliance filter then to Exchange. I want to deactivate or uninstall Forefront for Exchange with impacting my email services. Is it as simple as just uninstalling it?

Hi,
About uninstalling Forefront for Exchange 2010, you could check the following article.
If spam filtering was enabled, the configurations in the corresponding antispam settings in Microsoft Exchange that were leveraged by FPE will be retained by their Exchange antispam counterparts after FPE is uninstalled. These settings include: Connection
Filtering, Sender ID Filtering, Sender Filtering, and Reciepient Filtering. To change these configuration settings you will need to modify them through the Exchange management console.

How to test if Spam protection with Forefront for Exchange 2010 works

Hi there.
Installed forefront for exchange 2010 on Exchange Edge server.
We have tested virus protection with creating EICAR, but the question is, is there a way to check if SPAM Works fine, and how to?
with best regards
bostjanc

Hi bostjanc,
Since this is an issue on the Forefront side, I suggest ask Forefront Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/forefront/en-US/home?forum=FOPE
However, based on my knowledge, use the EICAR antivirus test file is the only built-in method to check whether the Anti-Spam configured correctly.
You can try to send some test spams to your Exchange server for testing, even if this is a stupid method : )
Thanks

Forefront for Exchange 2010 - no mails in quarantine or incidents list

I have a client with Forefront 2010 installed on their exchange 2010 server. I see 45 messages that have been blocked as spam in the dashboard - 43 connection, 1 smtp and 1 content.
The client wants to know which messages are being blocked and which aren't, however when I open up the incidents and quarantine pages there is nothing there.
They have the antispam configuration set to stamp headers and continue for SCL5 to 9 and it seems to me that things should be in the quarantine.
I have all the logging options turned on and I've followed the other technet threads about this issue but none of those solutions seem to work on this machine.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!

Hi,
Firstly, please make sure if you have enabled the anti-spam filtering engine of FPE. If yes, please refer to the blog below:
Exchange Content Filter settings are ignored
Besides, please make sure you have installed all the released hotfix rollups for FPE. Please also make sure that you have enabled "Enable content filtering incident logging" in Advanced Options of Global settings.
You can deliver quarantined items to specified recipients and set emial notification.
In addition, only an Administrator can access/manage the quarantine of FPE.
Please also ensure that you haven't configured FPE to automatically purge quarantined in a short time.
FPE content filter uses the Cloudmark™ Antispam engine to analyze each e-mail message and stamp it with a SCL.
When the setting 5 – 9 is selected, all messages with a rating of 5 or higher are treated as suspected spam.
Messages with an SCL rating of -1 and 0 will be treated as non-spam. You have the option to Quarantine or Stamp header and continue processing mail with an SCL rating in the 5 – 9 range.
If the issue persists, you can adjust the SCL setting to a lower value to see if the issue persists.

where should we take a look whats not being updated. Please a little help.

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.
Xavier Villafuerte

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)

Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi
Currently we are using RU2 for Exchange 2010 SP3. We are facing an issue with OWA through IE 11 (no support for premium). To correct this issue it's recommended to install RU3. Here we are asking the expert opinion about installing RU7
on all Exchange 2010 servers and whether it makes any different issues or is it enough to install RU3
Thanks in advance

Personally, if you are going to update the servers, you should apply the latest RU regardless. So I would go with RU7.

What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?

Quick question.
What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?
Hasan

Hi
Your question is a big vague. Extracting the rollup will use some space but you can delete the files afterwards.
Are you concerned about space while installing? If you have adequate space it shouldnt be a problem.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
I am asking space after installation, it will definitely install some files so how much space extra space it needed in exchange directory drive.

Unable to install rollup4 for Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi,
I'm unable to install KB2905616 on my multi-role Exchange 2010 SP3 server. The setup wizard gets stuck at "the setup wizard is generating native images for .NET assemblies........"
I know that this process will take some time to complete but I have waited 10 hours.
I've tried to reboot the server and restart the setup.
Exchange is functioning perfectly otherwise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
/Søren Emig

Hi,
I recommend you check if the anti-virus has been disabled before you start the upgrade process.
If you didn't ,the update could fail or take an extended amount of time.
Also, disable all other third-party apps/plugins that might be installed (like backup agents).
In addition,the following articles for your reference:
Install the Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010
When you install an update rollup package, Exchange tries to connect to the certificate revocation list (CRL) Web site. Exchange examines the CRL list to verify the code signing certificate. (To download and view the CRL list, see
CodeSignPCA.crl.) If Exchange can't connect to the CRL Web site, the following symptoms may occur:
The installation takes a long time to complete.
You receive the following message during the installation: Creating native images for .Net assemblies
When Exchange isn't connected to the Internet, each CRL request must complete before the installation can continue.
To work around this issue and to reduce installation times, turn off the
Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option on the server that is being upgraded. Use the following steps:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then locate the Security section.
Clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation check box, and then click
OK.
After the update rollup installation is complete, select the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option.
Generating NGEN images takes longer than expected
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Error 1603 when installing Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2

Hi There,
I have began upgrading our Exchange servers to Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2 last week and the first 3 servers all successfully installed it without any problems. However I have hit a problem with my 4th server.
I am receiving the 'common' error 1603 in my Application log and I have already ran through many potential fixes to this problem on various posts on this and other forums, but to no avail.
I have tried the following without success:
Turning off UAC
Running from elevated CMD prompt
Running from elevated Powershell command
Removing and re-adding "Exchange Trusted Subsystem" from the Administrators group
Re-downloading the RU4 install package to the local disk on the server
Adding more RAM and CPU resources
I have watched the installation process and it seems to update of the native assembly files and comes to the "Starting Services" process, with which it appears to do fine as I have watched the Services starting within Server Manager while this has been running,
but then all of a sudden just begins "Rolling back actions".
The only difference with this server to the others is the fact that a colleague of mine had to recover this server within the last 6 months and ran the Setup /m:RecoverServer command
to do so, could this have anything to do with it?
I have installed Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 on this server since the recovery though.
I am running out of ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated.

skippy-85,
Any updates on this Issues?
In case if the issue stands
resolved, Please mark Solution for this Thread and close this.
In case if you still have
the issue with the RU4 installation do let us know!
Thanks
