Hello!
We’re proud today with this significant milestone to both Microsoft and you, our customers, in the mission we undertook of converging client management and security, providing effective endpoint protection across all market segments, consumer through enterprise.

Hi guys, great to hear that. I just have 2 questions: 1.) Why are the policies still not additive. I think it would be really great to assign a standard policy for servers and to add my special server (sql, sccm, opsmgr,...) policies with a higher precidence on top of this standard policy so the configured values will merge. 2.) Why are the firewall andvanced features missing? The firewall policy settings are really basic, I can't really think of a reason to use them instead of GPOs. Cheers SebastianAnonymous

Hi There, Thanks for your comment! I'd like to suggest that you direct questions like this directly to the FEP forum (social.technet.microsoft.com/.../threads) - a forum better suited for discussions.. I've forwarded your comments on to the product team directly, too. Thanks so much!Anonymous

Hi There! If you are in a corporate or enterprise environment, FEP is for you (as long as you have the prerequsite software). However, if you're just looking to protect your own personal computer, try MSE: www.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx. Thanks!Anonymous
