Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were with regards to
putting Microsoft Forefront security on a SBS Premium R2 server and
workstations. Is the product ready for prime time? Does it install
well or seriously impact the resources on a SBS lan? Is it cost
effective...or are there better solutions out there?

Also, a side note...does anyone think its necessary to put a Dell
Remote Access card on a server given that you access all those same
features from within the Dell Open Management console? Just
wondering?

Thanks

Ringo

I have no knowledge of Forefront, but I can tell you that the DRAC's main
value shows when you need to remotely cycle the machine off/on because
there's no one on site to do it. Weigh the cost against the cost of an
on-site visit either on a weekend/holiday or at 3:00 in the morning.
