ForeFront for Exchange scanners not showing as updated
I recently had one of my Hub Transport servers running ForeFront for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 start behaving strangely. It was reporting that the scanner updates for “Norman Virus Control” and “AhnLab AntiVirus Scan Engine” as being over a week old, even though the most current definitions were on the disk in the correct location and the ini file (update.ini) indicated the correct version both in the ini file and within the ForeFront console. This, of course, caused OpsMgr to send quite a few emails about the out of date definitions.
Trying to force a manual update did no good, neither did restarting the relevant services. The solution, delete the update.ini file and then force a manual update process. You can find the current (extracted) scanner defintion files in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Forefront Security\Exchange Server\Data\Engines\x86\scanner\Bin
