    FPSMC utilizes features in Windows Server 2008 R2 and isn't compatible with earlier versions of the operating system. Regards, Tony T. Microsoft

    TechMind, The topic Managing Users (technet.microsoft.com/.../gg507702.aspx) discusses user account access within the FPSMC console. Maybe it can be of some help to you. Tony

    On the plus side it's good we've at least got some sort of management console for FPE 2010, but I'm still very disappointed. The console hasn't come on at all since the Antigen days and really doesn't add very much in terms of the ability to configure large numbers of FPE installations in an Enterprise environment. The saving grace with FPE 2010 is the ability to configure via Powershell but it would be nice to have a management console that provides the same level of granularity.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding FPSMC.  The cancellation of Forefront Protection Manager resulted in the lack of enterprise management for FPE 2010 and FPSP 2010. In order to address customer needs as quickly as possible we needed to balance new features and time to market. As you mention, the full PowerShell implementation within FPE 2010 and FPSP 2010 enables manageability of the products. For those interested in using PowerShell to remotely manage servers please see the Forefront Protection Server Script Kit which is also available as a no cost download to FPE 2010 and FPSP 2010 customers. (go.microsoft.com/fwlink)   We appreciate the feedback and will incorporate these comments into the planning process for future releases.

    Can someone confirm whether FPSMC runs on Windows 2008 R2 only as the Server Requirements section suggests? Would there be any problem running it on Windows 2008 SP2?

    Can anyone help, is FPSMC have role based access. I mean all the users created have complete acess to the console. Is there any option to define role based access to the users as per the requirement.
