| + | ===== Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7 into Windows Server 2012 ===== | ||
| + | The first hack allows you to install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). | ||
| + | Microsoft Security Essentials is designed for Windows 7 and is not compatible (nor supported) on Windows Server 2012. | ||
| + | But if you insist, you might as well end-up installing it on your Windows Server 2012. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Download a copy of MSE from Microsoft: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions | ||
| + | - Right Click on the "mseinstall.exe". | ||
| + | - Click on Properties. | ||
| + | - Click on the "Compatibility"-tab. | ||
| + | - Locate the "Compatibility mode"-section. | ||
| + | - Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:". | ||
| + | - Select From the (now active) dropdown menu "Windows 7". | ||
| + | - Open a Command Prompt as Administrator. | ||
| + | - cd to your Downloads folder (ie. cd C:\Users\%username%\Downloads). | ||
| + | - Run "mseinstall /disableoslimit" and follow the installer prompts to install MSE on your Windows Server 2012. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 (part of the System Center 2012 suite) ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 is part of a freaking awesome Microsoft System Center suite. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For further info, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Center#Microsoft_System_Center | ||
| + | They are all fully integrated & automated Client/Server solutions that satisfy specific system administration requirements (in addition to the already excellent features provided by Windows Server). | ||
| + | Among those, there's Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012, which is a Client/Server Security solution that fully integrates with your Active Directory Domain. | ||
| + | In layman's words, Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 could be considered as the "full" version of Microsoft Security Essentials (aka Windows Defender on Windows 8/8.1). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The solution includes both a "Server" application (ie. to deploy on your application server) and a "Client" counterpart (ie. for your workstations). | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | The hack here is the possibility to run the Client as a "standalone" product (ie. without the Server application). | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Not only, you can get the client "for free", by simply downloading the Trial version of the entire Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 suite (trial refers to the Server Application). | ||
| + | |||
| + | To install System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection on Windows Server 2012 proceed as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | Download Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Enpoint Protection 2012 SP1 from the following address: | ||
