How Does Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection Stack Up to the Competition (Bit9, Symantec, McAfee, etc.)?

I have a client in the financial services sector that owns System Center 2012 R2 (just Operations Manager 2012 R2 deployed so far) that is being courted by Bit9 for its "superior" endpoint protection. Can anyone point me to some credible resources
for comparing Microsoft's Endpoint Protection (component of Configuration Manager 2012 R2) to the competition (Bit9, Symantec, McAfee, etc.)?
If Microsoft's Endpoint Protection is "good enough" (and has a credible long term product roadmap), it probably makes sense to deploy that since it has already been purchased/licensed.  Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

  • Using the pre-configured SCCM 2012 SP1 endpoint protection templates for Exchange 2010?

    I am looking to update the exclusions for SCCM Endpoint Protect clients performing server AV protection on Exchange 2010 nodes.
    Within SC there are a number of pre-defined templates, including ones for Exchange 2007 / 2010. However when I analyse these they do not appear to list all the exclusions that the Exchange product team define on TechNet -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332342(v=exchg.141).aspx
    So do I;
    1 - Use the template as it has been verified by Microsoft for using with Exchange 2010 and it covers all I need to exclude?
    2 - Edit the template, adding in the additional exclusions as defined by the Exchange product team?
    Would whichever logic I use apply to other templates, such as SQL, SharePoint, etc as well?
    Thank you
    Alan

    As I cut and pasted the xml file I noticed the following comment that I had missed before..........
            <!-- Exchange -->
            <!-- Exchange Server 2010 exclusions are defined in TechNet bb332342 -->
            <!-- Although the exclusions defined in the article work, testing showed that they exceed what is necessary-->
    Still going with adding the full recommended list from TechNet though

  • Configuring SMTP account for Endpoint protection alerts

    Hi all
    I am using SCCM 2012 R2 Endpoint protection. I want to configure email alerts for Endpoint protection. I have mail server in Windows 2008 R2 server in a WORKGROUP. Since mail server is not in domain , how can i configure SMTP server setting. What account
    i need to use for SMTP?

    You can get advice from others on the forum Ashok but ultimately you are the only one that will be able to figure this out. You need to look at your mail server (or talk to the person that manages it) and see how it is configured to allow email relay from
    the firewall, for example. It could be that the mail server is configured with a rule to allow relays anonymously from that specific IP address.
    You then need to configure the email server to allow the requests from the ConfigMgr server in exactly the same way. It might be as simple as adding the IP address to the above rule. You will NOT need to configure an Endpoint Protection SMTP Server Connection
    Account. As Joyce says this is only required if the mail server REQUIRES authenticated access (but you can configure the rule so that it doesn't).
    "they just use SMTP server and a email address for authentication"
    This isn't the case Ashok. This is not authentication. The email address is just a label so that you can see where the alert is coming from.
    I hope this is all clear. This isn't a ConfigMgr issue as such. It's email relaying so is specific to the email product you use.

  • Streamlined Client Management and VDI with Configuration Manager 2012

    Hi, 
    There is an interesting blog about managing ConfigMgr 2012 Clients in a VDI environment. 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2011/11/15/streamlined-client-management-and-vdi-with-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
    But I didn't find any way or description in the blog on how to prepare the client in the base image used for VDI. Do we still have to make the client unique before shutting down the base image? Or will this be done automatically? 
    Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default? 
    Thanks!
    Gr. Cédric.

    No this is handled by ConfigMgr post SP1 
    Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default? 
    For XenDesktop  -no you will need to enable them in the client settings (not sure for other virtual
    solutions)
    In the SCCM Console go to the Administration workspace; click Client Settings. Right click the Default Client Settings and choose Properties
    Choose Hardware Inventory and click Set Classes.
    Click the Add button and then click Connect. 
    Enter the computer name of a master image device that has the SCCM client installed.
    Enter root\ccmvdi as the WMI namespace and click Connect.
    Select CCM_DesktopMachine. Click Ok.
    Cheers

  • Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 CU4 Console - Content Status very slow

    I have a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 environment running.
    When using the console and viewing the Monitoring / Distribution Status / Content Status it took about 10-15 minutes to get the information.
    How can this be speed up a bit ? By adding additional indexes in SQL ?
    Any tips, hints are very welcome.

    Hi,
    Have you seen this previuous thread on the topic?
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7935143e-21a8-4770-83bf-7e1938d9defd/configuration-manager-2012-content-status-slow?forum=configmanagergeneral
    I would run the script from Ola that reports back on the indexe defragementeation and what I normally see as well is that more than one TempDB file increases performance greatly. It is most likely covered in the session mentioned above by Tim.

  • How does one manage these new render setting for previews?

    I placed 4 HD clips from a nested into a sequence 5800 x 768 to mimic 4 side by side monitors for a multi channel video.  Each clip cut from the sequence are at 1280x720 all sitting side by side. However when I rendered the previews, they came look all squished. However when I exported the frame it looks fine in Photoshop. (I changed the uploaded image to what it looks like in Premiere in Photoshop to demonstrate the appearance in Premiere.)
    I imagine that the distortion has to do with the sequence render setting which for some reason comes out to 1918 x 253...or the pixel aspect ratio? How does one manage these new render setting for previews so it looks normal in the monitor? 
      

    Either way, I thought that this format would be a great way to view on the monitor 4 channels at the same time. I may need to place them on a “normal” 1440 x 1080 sequence in a line, bringing them down to 25% scale to make it work in the end. I did just try that. I think it will work...but when I imported and nested the old file, the scratch disks changed from the original set up on a D drive back to the main hard drive so I had to change it agin. Otherwise it works fine...so I’ll go with this for now
    These are the instructions I was given.I attched a screen save of the AE file they asked me to use (They must be on vacation, because I have not been able to get hold of them). I don't know After Effects very well:
    “As you begin creating or adapting work for e4c, you may find an After Effects template developed for this system to be helpful. Attached you'll see a zipped file with two AE templates. There is some detailed information (below) from the artist that developed these for us. In addition, a few bits of information that might help you along are:
    ·        The "Watchout"  playback system can support WMV or a QuickTime files . We like .mov files with H.264 codec best!
    ·        The end resolution of the four screens is 5120 x 720 pixels (1280x720 each).
    ·        If works are four-channel, please provide a separate audio (aiff) file so it doesn't slow any one video down.”
    Thanks for your help!

  • Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1

    Hello,
    I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
    and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.   
    So, what is the alternative approach?
    Thanks
    Raj

    If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
    Hi,
    this is incorrect.
    There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
    to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

    Sorry, going to be blunt here, but this is why "best practices" are useless. If you don't know the "why" of the best practice and when to apply it, it will cause you to do things that simply aren't necessary (or even harmful) by
    blindly trying to apply them. It is simply is not necessary for secondary sites for perf or any other reason. Also, if this is a VM, then your virtual disks will most likely be on the same physical disks which means you do *not* in any way gain any perf benefits
    anyway (perf benefits come from have additional physical spindles -- logical separation is just that *logical*).
    You have far bigger challenges ahead of you, push the easy button on this one, let ConfigMgr deploy SQL Express for you and move on.

  • Migrating from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2

    Good morning all,
    I have been tasked with architecting a migration from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2 and I noticed that there is almost no material available in the web about this, can someone provide whatever insight information possible?
    Thanks in advanced for your help on this matter

    Jeff,
    I agree with you on some of your thoughts, I should've describe the situation better.... I am not trying to migrate anything from Marimba, I am architecting an entire ConfigMgr 2012 R2 infrastructure altogether, what I am trying to do is (because I have
    to rationalize and normalize their DSL) see if I can salvage any applications and some level of their customization to convert them into ConfigMgr applications.... they have about 3000 apps and not all of them are in .msi format, Marimba uses a very strange
    folder format for this.... trying to see if anyone out there has dealt with this before.

  • When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    Hi!
    Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
    You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

  • VHD for System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2

    I just downloaded of TechNet the VHD of System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2.  However when you bring it online it is in the domain Conteso. I have searched all over TechNet and the web, but there is no record of the admin password nor is there
    any documented instructions with the download.
