| My CTO is looking for specific evidence that installing Forefront Client
| Security on a Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise R2 SP2) file server is a
| necessary step. For the last 2 years, we ran NOD32 on our servers (and
| clients), but have recently migrated to Forefront.
|
| Can anyone point me to documentation that states that FCS is a valid
| software package for a file server? I can see it is a supported client,
| meets the system requirements, but I can't find anything that says "You
need
| anti-virus on your servers, and FCS is a good choice for that".
