Forefront Client Security is Microsoft’s anti-virus product. It’s designed to be deployed to entire organisations, integrated into MOM (for reporting) and WSUS (for signature and engine updates). This is all great but how do you install it in standalone mode on a single PC?!

I had to dig through quite a bit of microsoft deployment guide, but I found the answer: it is possible.

Open up a command prompt (”run as administrator” if you’re running vista), change directory to the CLIENT folder of the FCS CD and type:

clientsetup.exe /NOMOM

It should install totally silently, then you’ll see the icon in the system tray telling you it needs an update already. Open internet explorer, visit Microsoft Update and install the critical update available for forefront.

When it’s all installed and updated, the forefront system tray icon should turn into a green tick.
