Re: Exchange 2007 SP1 & ForeFront

Thank you for this answer.

I was having a rather dim moment yesterday. I now recall that it was
installing Exchange updates that required some additional steps (such as
installing rollup 4 package) due to forefront as opposed to the actual
Windows Updates for the OS.

Hi there

We ultilise a stand alone Exchange 2007 SP1 on a Server 2008 64bit
environment with the mail server being protected by ForeFront.

I have a really simple question caused by having read something online:

Q: Is there a specific process which needs to be taken when installing
Windows Updates?

All I want to do is ensure that the latest updates are installed but I read
that this needs to be done differently if ForeFront for Exchange is running
on the server?

Please could you confirm?

We've been running Sybari Antigen for ages and never had to do
anything. Since Forefront for Exchanger is just watching email I don't
see how it would interfer with patching. If you're refering to the
file-level AV then that sometimes can interfer with patching, but I
can't recall the last time I've seen a problem with that.
