Using the Forefront Server Security Administrator

Applies to: Forefront Security for Exchange Server

The Microsoft® Forefront™ Server Security Administrator is used to configure and run Forefront Security for Exchange Server locally or remotely. For the Forefront Server Security Administrator to launch successfully, the FSCController and Exchange server must be running on the computer to which the Forefront Server Security Administrator connects. If you launch the Administrator and the Microsoft® Exchange Server is not running, you will receive an error message. Because the Forefront Server Security Administrator is the front end of the Forefront Security for Exchange Server software, it can be launched and closed without affecting the back-end processes being performed by the Forefront Security for Exchange Server services. The Forefront Server Security Administrator may also be run in a read-only mode to provide access to users who do not have permission to change settings or run jobs, but who may need to view information provided through the user interface.
