SBS and Forefront

I've had a few people ask questions about the the interoperability with Forefront and SBS - have had a chat to a few Microsofties and I've included comments below:

“Whilst Microsoft haven’t yet made any public statements about the Forefront server Products – we can confirm that Microsoft Antigen 9.0 has been successfully tested on the SBS build of Exchange Server 2003. The SBS team is currently in the process of integrating the current Forefront for Exchange as a part of the next SBS release – but as yet, no dates are confirmed for this.

There are a couple of caveats to this solutions, firstly; installing Forefront for Exchange(FSE) and Forefront for SharePoint(FSSP) on the same box is not supported, currently only one of the Forefront products can be deployed onto a single system at any one time. Secondly; when Exchange and SharePoint are present on the same box, deploying FSSP is known to result in some issues and we are currently not recommending this configuration. These issues are to be resolved in the forthcoming release of the Forefront Server SP1 package”.

Good. I noticed at the latest Roadshow that SBS slipped under the radar when it came to Forefront.

It would be really good to see an SBSized version of Forefront to round out the Forefront product lineup.

I am using Microsoft Antigen for Exchange 9 on many SBS boxes... And have been a user of Sybari Antigen ..when they owned it. Great product.

The ForeFront exchange product is a good fit with Exchange 2007 when you have Edge Server part installed but IMHO it could be impoved for 'SBS 2007' use./

Is there going to be an Edge server in SBS anyways?

The ForeFront developers need to review the TM competition product for a few ideas.
