Forefront Client Security Health Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 SP1 Available
The Forefront Client Security team writes:
While you’ve always had the ability to use MOM 2005 to monitor things like IIS and SQL for your Client Security servers, this management pack gives you the additional ability to monitor some key FCS services:
· Definition Import Failure
· Microsoft Client Security Update Assistant service—That’s the service that allows WSUS 2.0 to be configured to receive updates every hour rather than just once a day. For those of you running WSUS 2.0, you’ll be glad to have the ability to monitor this!
· Forefront Client Security Management service—This service is important because it parses antimalware definitions and adds the information to the collection database table fcs_Threat_Metadata_tbl. And that table is not only read by the management console when you set overrides based on threat, it’s also used by FCS reporting for information about specific threats.
