HI,<br />
<br />
I am trying to deploy Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 on Windows server 2008 R2.<br />
<br />
Everytime I try to install this, it tells me I need the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 R2 or R3. I have downloaded these and tried to install, and still get a message that I need configuration manager installed.<br />
<br />
Can someone please guide what exactly I need to install prior to installing endpoint protection.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
