From: Lynne Seamans on 15 Mar 2010 15:11 Been tasked with "installing forefront" on our exchange 2007 servers. i'm confused between two product names: - Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server - Forefront Security for Exchange server. What is the difference or is the first name just the latest iteration of the same software? Thanks for any pointers. Lynne.Seamans(a)millersville.edu

From: Lynne Seamans on 16 Mar 2010 11:33 thanks, Rich. Does the FPE technically replace the FSE? Or are they both current?

One (FSE) is release 10, the other (FPE) is release 11. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks, Rich. You've made it pretty clear, that's what i wanted to know. Guess i should have been able to figure it out by myself, but hey, somedays you're dumber than others.
