I have a Technet standard subscription.
Hmmm. I was really hoping for a MS application. Sophos will require
purchasing yet more licenses and I cant particulary justify or afford it
at the moment.
In the process of insulating and doing up a shed to house the servers at
the moment. This hobby is pricy!
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
I use Sophos at home and it works fine with AV, and use the SBS backup
solution. Windows Server 2008 backup would be the MS solution on a
non-SBS network.
Just wondering which Technet subscription you have, and does it cover you
for things like SBS etc?
Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: Looking for a good managed security and backup tool.
Good morning,
I have a few servers and desktops at home that I want to manage centrally
for a number of reasons.
I had heard a lot about forefront client security lately so thought I'd
give that a shot during the weekend. To my surprise, it doesn't support
the environment I had in mind for it at all! I had hoped to install it on
a virtual machine running Windows 2008 R2, SQL 2008 R2 and with a WSUS
server hosted on another machine. I gave the system a reasonable spec. It
has a 120GB hard drive, 4GB of ram and two processors at 2.3GHZ.
It really doesn't like my ideas.
It's still complaining that it only has one processor,
It says there isn't enough hard disk space,
It still looks for a SQL database. Mainly because according to the
release notes it only supports SQL 2005
and finally it wants it's own WSUS server.
Why would it have this dependency when there's a perfectly fine WSUS
server running on the domain?
This is a virtual machine running on ESX 4.
If forefront isn't the best option what is? I want to learn about a decent
server managed security suite. In work I administer Office scan but I'd
like to see what else is available. I'm reasonably certain anything is
going to be better than office scan.
I'm also looking for a decent backup system. In the past I've
administered Backup exec and I know that works quite well but again, I'd
like to try something different.
I have a technet subscription so ideally, I'd really like to know the
Microsoft solutions for these problems.
Any thought's?
Thanks
Darragh
