No matter how many clients we add the console always says we have 2.

hi there, we have finally gotten Forefront client security and WSUS
running and its all deploying and everything actually seems to be working
with some degree of success.

However, if I go into the 'microsoft forefront client security console' it
shows 2 managed computers but its only actually giving me statistics about 1
computer which is itself...

we actually have the client software on about 7 PCs at the moment...

any ideas?

Maybe its not updating something in a database somewhere?

when i came in this morning it was scanning on my machine so I have a
feeling its working there is just some disconnect between reporting.

Any ideas?

You need to deploy MOM agent to those computers.

Ah, alright.

Now I'm starting to see the very elusive 'inter-twinedness' of everything
and how it all works together.

thanks for that.

Ah thanks so much, it now sees all 6 of the hosts, although now it says that
5 of the hosts have out-of-date policies. I notice that if I run gpupdate
/force it does appear to change the policy because I change the ability for
the user to open the 'Forefront client' then I run gpupdate /force and it
wont open, then i go back in and enable the user to open the forefront
client and re-run gpupdate /force and it appears to update.

Any more tips on working with this thing? its very cool i've intentionally
passed some viruses through Postini to myself to see if it would catch it
and its caught all of them, if i could work out the kinks i'd be so happy.

It doesnt seem to be reporting that it has the new policy.
