QUESTION - WFA installation with MSFT ForeFront

emanuel — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:17:59 GMT

Hello

We have been provisioned a Windows 2008 SP1 VM that is part of a customer domain that seems to have a security application called Microsoft ForeFront and it is blocking WFA from loading.

Because WFA requires .Net 3.5.1, we had to go through and load IIS and disable it afterwards. But if i activate IIS, it works from a local and remote host, but if i disable it, i am being blocked with ForeFront.

I am trying to get the customer to remove it or provide a barebones VM to get WFA loaded on.

Has anyone here experienced this?

got it and replied back.

For general information, our current WFA host is a little "random" in behavior. I am working on a check list of things to validate connectivity.
