Forefront Security for Exchange Server Porduct Kay

Just installed Forefront Protection on SBS2008 and is asking for activation Key???
Can't find key to down load on website
Please advise

Hi Ed,
I assume it was a volume license product you purchased? if so you should be able to sign into the Volume License Service Centre and see the product listed along with any required keys. If it isn't showing contact your distributor and get them to ensure they
have linked it to your account.

Evaluation version? didn't activate this product? You
can convert an evaluation license to a subscription license by activating the product. Be sure to have the product key available when activating FPE. After the product is activated, you can also align when the product expires with your license agreement, and
easily renew your license by entering a new expiration date.

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.

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.
I would like to get this up to the newest version which I think is SP2. Where can I download just the service pack 2 and will I have any problem with the version of exchange I am running. Thanks in advance for any help.

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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
log.
Thanks for any ideas.

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

Installed hotfix update rollup 4 for forefront (I think it's the latest because I haven't found any newer).

where should we take a look whats not being updated. Please a little help.
with best regards,

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)
