Microsoft brings security to Mac

During Microsoft Management Summit 2012 it was announced that Microsoft will support both Linux and Mac from Configuration Manager 2012 and also deliver System Center Endpoint Protection for these operating systems.

You can read the annocement here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/06/15/system-center-2012-extends-client-management-and-security-to-mac-and-linux.aspx

This guide is only for manually deploying the System Center Endpoint Protection 2012 on Apple Mac OS X.

1. Navigate to the Microsoft Volumen Licensing site (https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx)

2. Search for the "System Center Endpoint Protection 2012". Click the download button and select the version for Linux and Mac.

3. Extract the iso file "SW_DVD5_SC_Endpoint_Protection_2012_MAC_MultiLang_Linux_MLF_X17-95332" and navigate to the folder called Mac.

4. Find the Apple installer package for your language. For english select "ENU.scepMac.i386".

5. Run the package on you Mac.

Rumors say that ESET antivirus is the engine behind the scene for Mac and Linux.

Hi everyone,

For some weird reason you're not able to configure the mobile access for some of the application within the UAG 2010 portal like FileAccess, Portal, etc...

The "checkbox" for the options under "Portal Link" looks like they are disabled. :)

Following the steps below you can manually configure these settings.

 1. Navigate to the root installation of the UAG using Windows Explorer.

 2. Find the file WizardDefaultParam.ini located at the following path \von\conf\wizarddefaut

 3. Locate the section of that application that you would like to change. For example [Portal]

 4. Find the attribute "SupportPda". Change the value from "1" to "3".

 5. Save the settings and restart the UAG console

 6. Re-Create your "Portal" Application.

Now you should see the checkbox is checked, but still greyed out :)

Hi,

Just a HeadsUp when designing your Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 policy collection structure.

If you build your FEP policy assignment collection structure beneath "FEP Collections" watch out if you need to reinstall/repair the FEP installation the sub collections ends up orhpaned and after a reinstallation of the FEP installation you will not be able to see the sub collection in th console any more.

You will also get an error if you try to recreate the structure because the previously created collections still exist in the SCCM database.

"The collection name is already in use. Please enter a different name."

 Follow the steps in this guide to either re-create the collection structure or remove it all together:

Thanks to Morten Kløve Simonsen for his input in this mather.

Hi,

Yesterday I visited a smaller customer that had decided to do the implementation of FEP 2010 them self. Nothing wrong in that, but somewhere a long the way something had gone terrible wrong with the installation.

Error

The FEP 2010 reporting (SQL reporting services) component didn't show any data. I just stated "No Data" and "Error: Subreport could not be shown".

After doing some troubleshooting I found that I couldn't access the Microsoft SQL 2008 Analysis services using the Microsoft SQL Management studio. None of the customers services accounts had access to connect to the service.

We decided to reinstall the FEP 2010 reporting component after re-installing the Microsoft SQL 2008 Analysis service. After completing the installation everything worked.
