Symantec Mail security & Forefront protection for Exchage on same environment

We are Running Symantec Mail security on Edge transport with all strict antispam policies but still some users once in a while recieve a spam here or there ,so we are planning to install Forefront Protection for exchange on hub transport , so both products
are running , is this a do able scnerio , will we face any issues....please suggest from Microsoft point of view,

Hi,
As far as I know,  no single tool or process can eliminate all spam. For more spam features and easier management, you can elect to purchase the Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) hosted email filtering service or the next version
of this service, Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP).

    Hi there,

    Hi,
    Would you please let me confirm whether all functions (which are related to Exchange Server) run as normal? Just
    a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
    Please run

  • Symantec Mail Security with Exchange 2007 (Emails with Attachment missing)

    HI, i need help here
    I have Win 2008 with Exchange 2007 and Symantec Mail Security. Symantec was working fine until the license expired but it was still fine until yesterday, we realize that we cannot receive email with attachment. after stopping the symantec services, mail
    flow went back to normal. We then remove the program from the control panel.
    Then i found that i cant retrieve or find those emails that was sent to us during a period of ard 6 hours. i tried looking the the Symantec quarantine folder but it is not there.
    Can someone point to me where should i look for the missing mails? When i do a mail flow troubleshoot i can see the logs that it is sent to the mailbox, but from users's outlook inbox, there is no email ??
    Much Appreciated

    Symantec's support group should be able to tell you what happened.

  • 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

    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

  • Alternative to Forefront Protection for Exchange

    Since Microsoft is discontinuing Forefront Protection for Exchange, does anyone know how long they will continue to provide updates to the anti-virus engines? To be honest, our perimeter security provides just about all the protection we need but I don't
    like not having anti-virus on Exchange, especially the mailbox servers.
    Is MS providing any alternative other than going to the cloud or are we just being forced to find a third party product? I really liked the MS product because support would always play third party products every time we had a problem. Our agreement does
    expire until 2016 but I think we will be on 2013 by then for sure and I hear 2013 has some remedial anti-virus support built in.

    3rd party or cloud is the only option. 2013 has basic malware detection.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Server Protection for Exchange Registration Service does not start automatically

    Hello,
    I am having an issue when I start my TMG 2010 machine:
    (*TMG 2010 + Forefront protection for Exchange + Exchange Edge server role, acting like a SMTP relay and Antispam filter)
    The service "Microsoft Forefront Server Protection for Exchange Registration Service"
    does not start, it is set to "Manual".
    I tried to find some information about which services should be started and which should not, but I cannot find such information, not even in Technet (my fault probably).
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis Olías Técnico/Admon Sistemas . Sevilla (España - Spain)

    Hi,
    Have you received any errors in event logs when
    you started the Microsoft Forefront Server Protection for Exchange Registration Service?
    Based on my research,
    Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Controller service is a dependency of the Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Registration service and the Microsoft Forefront
    Server Protection Registration service is a dependency of the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
    The Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Registration service normally only runs for a brief time (less than a minute) when FPE initializes. It then shuts
    down and does not need to be running for transport scanning to occur.
    You can refer to the link below:

  • Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint Expiring

    We're still running "Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint" on SharePoint 2010.  We're receiving notifications that the license will expire in 30 days.  At this point I plan to just allow it to expire (we will be upgrading to SP 2013
    soon).  Does anyone know if there will be any impact on SharePoint once this expires.  I would really like to hear from Microsoft unless anyone has direct experience with "Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint" expiring.
    Thanks!

    Hi mikea730,
    If you were licensed to use one of the products that are listed in the "Applies to" section on November 30, 2012, Microsoft will continue to support your subscription through December 31, 2015. If your subscription expires before December 31, 2015, and if
    it cannot be renewed because the product is no longer available, you can extend your Expiration Date through December 31, 2015 so that you can have additional time to migrate to an alternative solution.
    More information, please refer to the link below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793998/en-us
    The worst scenario is that the Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint can not scan SharePoint document libraries, it cannot affect the function of SharePoint 2010.
    In addition, we have a special forum for ForeFront Protection for SharePoint :
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=FSSPNext , you can create a new thread in this forum, more experts will assist you.
    I hope this helps.

  • 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
