Forefront for Exchange Server

Before upgrading to Exchange Server 2013 we were using Exchange Server 2010 with Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server to protect our system from virus/ malware, it works effectively. After upgrading to Exchange Server 2013, the forefront Protection
2010 does not support Exchange 2013. I know that MS added anti malware function to Exchange Server 2013 but it does not work effectively.
So the question is: does MS has any other program instead of Forefront Protection 2010 which support Exchange Server 2013.

Hi,
You could have a look at Exchange Online Protection that hosted email filtering service.

  • Forefront for Exchange Server is not blocking emails by IP

    I have 3 Servers for Exchange: Client, Mailbox, and Edge.
    I have Antispam configured on my Edge server with IP Block list enabled but I am getting numerous emails from China's IP block even though I blocked all of the .cn network.
    The following is entered in my IP Block list for .cn:
    59.56.0.0-59.61.255.255
    183.0.0.0-183.63.255.255
    I confirmed server is up to date on patches, etc.
    Exchange Version on all Servers:
    14.03.0174.001
    Forefront Version on all Servers:
    11.0.713.0
    However when looking at Help>About MS Forefront Protection the Exchange Version does not match...
    Exchange Version Reported in Forefront
    Mailbox: Exchange Version 14.03.0174.001
    Client: Exchange Version 14.3.123.4
    Edge: Exchange Version 14.3.123.4
    Not sure if this is going to be an issue but wanted to make note of it.

    no way for checking emails which use a proxy like https page to acces???
    with this nice business!! phone???

  • Half the engines are not updating wanted to update Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server to newest sevice pack

    Running forefront protection 2010 for exchange. The version of Exchange we are running is Exchange Server 2007 sp3 rollup 13. I am seeing that half our engines are not updating for forefront. Currently we are running version 10.1.0746 sp1 for Forefront.

  • If the Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server can use for exchange server 2013?

    thanks for your reply!
      what's protection software can use for exchange server 2013?
    Hi,
    Most (if not all) of the bigger vendors has a product that supports Exchange 2013, so look them up.
    Exchange 2013 has some Anti-Spam and Anti-Malware Protection functionality that you can read about here:

  • 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

  • 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

  • Microsoft forefront protection 2010 for exchange server is unable to perform the requested function

    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
    functional.
    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?

  • 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.

  • Expiration of "Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server"

    We have "Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange
    Server" running in the company. Now I face the expiration of "Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server".
    I learned from
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx that "... products will continue to be supported through that date (12/31/2015) in order to provide with customers sufficient
    time to move to alternative solutions". My concern is, that Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server does not know about that grace period.
    It claims:
    Your Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has expired. The product will continue to operate during the extended grace period
    until 5/1/2013. Subsequently, scanner updates will be disabled and the product will operate with reduced functionality.
    Is there a way to get a new license number? I called our software vendor, but Microsoft does not sell licenses anymore.
    Thank you for your assistance.

  • 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.
    The links below would be helpful to you:

  • 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
    bostjanc

    Hi Bostjanc,
    >>how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
    I think you must have seen the information below in that blog.
    For current customers, Microsoft will continue to support the subscription through Dec.31, 2015. If customer subcriptions expire before Dec.31, 2015, and annot be renewed because the product is no longer offered, these products will continue to be supported
    through that date in order to provided with customers sufficient time to move to alternative solutions.
