Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Business class anti-virus/spyware
We have a Barracuda web filter here at work. It is pretty nice, blocks most of the bad links out there which in turn cuts down on the malware that slips through to the workstations. For antivirus we run the older version of Forefront Client Security. It does a so-so job. I wish the console and...- dbdawn

Active Directory Change Management Software
I missed this the first time, why are they charging per user? I would think that all you need is the software client installed on the domain controller/s not all the workstations? I do know that they have Desktop Authority which you pay per user, but that is different from the auditing software...- dbdawn

Forefront Client Security upgrade to Forefront Endpoint Protection
Yes, I know SCCM is a beast :) That is why I am kinda hesitating to move to the new FEP offering. I would be hard pressed to find time right now to learn SCCM and another thing is I don't know if I can justify the cost to buy SCCM licenses. I am having a hard time understanding what benefits I...- dbdawn

Active Directory Change Management Software
We have the Active Administrator software by ScriptLogic/Quest. It's decent and gets the job done. I am not sure what we pay for pricing as I don't deal with that and the software was in place before I started working here.- dbdawn

Forefront Client Security upgrade to Forefront Endpoint Protection
We are currently running Forefront Client Security. I was looking at upgrading to the new Forefront Endpoint Protection. Has anybody upgraded? What are the benefits/improvements over FCS besides the improved malware detection and intrusion prevention? The bummer is that you need SCCM or...- dbdawn

Project: Plutonium 3
Don't laugh, lol. I have a Linksys Wrt54GS I think I will get an HP Procurve then, unless a find a really good deal on a 3com or Cisco switch. I would rather spend my money on hard drives ;) Thanks for confirming that Intel makes good NICs. In all reality would I need dual NICs? Or would I be... -

Project: Plutonium 3
Well I describe "super crazy amounts of money" as $2000+ for a switch and $500 for a NIC. As far as how much data I move around on my current setup. I cap tv and movies (6-10GB per file) as a hobby, I also stream those files to my htpc. I also do video editing and shoot raw images (40MB per... -

thanks for the answer gjvrieze EDIT: I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions, but I have a question about the network configuration. I will be transferring lots of stuff over the network and working with large files. What will I need to optimize my network hardware wise? I do not want to... -

nitrobass24 thanks for the answer, it helps clear some confusion I had. I'm thinking since I already have a complete backup for the most important stuff and stuff that is semi important is on a RAID setup, then WHS is for me. I mean if the Storage King himself uses it, it must be good. :D... -
