 Re: Best practice for SmartDefense update
The reason I asked the question at thet meeting was because I had an SD update break Outlook Web Access, which was in a DMZ. The new update was only peripherally involved with MS networking as I recall, but it sure broke it.
Even with the new update set to Monitor Only, it still blocked authentication. I had to totally un-check the entire section (which I was GREATLY relived to see work!).
A few months later an SK article was issued that described problem I was experiencing. The root cause was that I had the SmartCenter on R55 HFA17 but the enforcement module was on R55 HFA14. There was an incompatibility in the code.
I had never heard of an issue where a down-rev enforcement module caused a problem. I had never applied HFA17 to the enforcement module because it didn't have anything in the release notes that I needed fixed, but the SmartCenter updates did fix problems I was having.
