Launching the Console
Applies to: Forefront Server Security Management Console
The Console is used for all configuration and deployment tasks. Launch the Console locally from the Start menu:
Microsoft Forefront Server Security/Forefront Server Security Management Console
To launch the Console remotely, open your Internet browser and enter the remote server name, followed by /FSSMConsole. You will be prompted for the credentials you used when installing the FSSMC. You can also connect to the local computer this way, using a server name of localhost.
Note
When you launch FSSMC remotely, pop-up windows (such as those that inform you of the status of agent deployment) may not appear. This is a function of your Internet Explorer settings and can be corrected by adding the remote site (https://servername/FSSMConsole) to the Local Intranet Zone.
Examples:
https://servername/FSSMConsolelaunching from a remote server
https://localhost/FSSMConsolelaunching from the local computer
