Forefront Client on Exchange when Antigen installed?

[Dana...@community.nospam]

My OU deployment of Forefront shows that my Exchange Server (which has
Antigen installed) wants to download the Forefront client like all my other
Domain Controllers do. Should the Forefront client be installed on the Same
Windows 2003 Server running Exchange 2003 and Antigen?

If it is not supposed to be downloaded, where did I go wrong? Should I have
a separate Policy applied to the Exchange Server?

Thanks in Advance,

So you have configured your Exchange Server to get FCS.

Well, it depends on your protection needs.
If the Exchange server does only host the Exchange services and no file
shares etc. you _could_ perhaps skip that step and not deploy FCS on it.

Would be a good idea. Cause you should configure exceptions for the Exchange
directories:

Thank you so much, I think I will install with the preferred exclusions.
