Global Confi guration
Global confi guration is one of the main tasks you need to perform after implementing
the FSSMC. Adding servers and users and confi guring jobs are the other important
tasks you need to perform.
The Global Confi guration section includes SMTP server, statistics polling, and
download confi guration options.
You need to provide the SMTP Server (Internet Protocol [IP] address or fully
qualifi ed domain name) from the address, user name, and password. If your mail server
is configured to check SMTP authentication, you need to select the checkbox
Require SMTP Authentication. This information is used by the FSSMC to send
notifi cations and alert messages. You may create a user in your Active Directory called
fssmc_alert instead of using any regular user accounts. You can send a test mail to confi rm
that you receive e-mails from the FSSMC. You can also create a Distribution group
in Active Directory and assign individuals within your organization responsible for
forefront to that group. That way, all individuals responsible for the FSSMC will be
alerted when there are any issues.
In a multiple Forefront security servers environment, you may have a considerable
amount of traffi c between the FSSMC and managed servers.
