I need a solution I'm sure many of you are in the same boat I am in now.  The powers that be want to drop Symantec since FEP is included in our EA.   I am looking for anything comparing the two product  features and performa

Rick Bywalski commented on: Making a DC a GUP
One other thougth on making a DC a gup I am going to amend my prior statement of not recommending it.   I would add that if it is a RODC then I would consider doing it as the likely hood of something bad happending to the database would ...

Rick Bywalski commented on: Making a DC a GUP
I would recommend against this too.  You dont want to add that much disk IO and you could risk corupting your AD.    As a general rule advoid using AD to do anything but AD functions.

Rick Bywalski commented on: Migration of clients from one server to another server SEPM
One you could use sylink drop to update the all the clients and get them to point to the new server.   If you are going to have both servers online and pointing to the same database add the new server to the infrastructure and create a ...

Rick Bywalski commented on: From 11 to 12
Could I rename and IP the new server to the old servers name after the old server has been decommissioned?   My idea was to allow replication to pull in all the origional data.

Rick Bywalski commented on: From 11 to 12
I am going to be doing the same type migration.  I am lucky in that my SEPM machines are VM based so here is what I have proposed.  Also my SQL servers are on seperate boxes.   1.  Do and in place upgrade of the 2003 32 bit ...

Rick Bywalski commented on: SEP 12 vs Forefront Compare sheets??
I will respectfully disagree that MS does not do security well.   Compair the number of products they have with the number that say Adobe or Sun Java have and then compair the number of updates that are done.   Microsoft ...

Rick Bywalski commented on: SEP 12 vs Forefront Compare sheets??
I have been ask to compair the two.   From my initial look at them in demo's  SEP still beats FEP in my oppinion which shocked alot of people here as I am known as the MS Fanboy here.   Now I will say that the gap has ...

Rick Bywalski commented on: 12.1 Clients Not Getting Definition Updates
I am hoping that UAC is not an issue.   I know in my case that would be a deal breaker and push me to another vendor.   I am running UAC turned on with version 11 and not having any issues.

Rick Bywalski commented on: 12.1 Clients Not Getting Definition Updates
Can a ver 11 GUP update a 12.1 client.   My upgrade and test plan would not have my GUP's updated right away but I can always change that as long as I know.

I would also add make sure your running a current build of SEP we had nightmares with this with the early releases.  Around MR3 or 4 it got alot better.  We use GUP's in all our offices and keep the SEPM at the data center as a fail ...
