Exchange 2010 SP2 and Forefront Protection For Exchange 2010 (FPE 2010)

 

The Exchange 2010 service pack 2 is released, so you have to upgrade to this new SP. But, many companies have deployed Forefront for Exchange to make their messaging solution more secure against Spams and virus.

The problem: Is there any known issue that will be produced when upgrading to Exchange SP2 in an infrastructure that contains FPE 2010 ?

Answer: Until now, there’s no any announcement from Microsoft about that. But, in my test lab, I do the following:

1. Download and install the recent update of FPE2010 ( Download)
2. Install the SP2 of Exchange (Download)

I haven’t received any issues. It seems to be fine. Exchange 2010 SP2 and FPE 2010 seems to be compatible. But, we must wait for Microsoft to announce that.
