SCCM with Forefront Client

For those interested or trying to incorporate MS Forefront Client with SCCM - here is a good read. link.

This has been a chore to configure and a bit frustrating trying to configure WSUS settings that don't exist in SCCM.  It would be nice to just be able to have one product that does the leg work for you without having to install multiple roles on multiple servers with different settings to manage. 

MS says - "While Configuration Manager plays no role in FCS definition updates, it can be used to automate FCS agent deployments and patches plus provide FCS configuration assessments via a desired configuration management component.". 

So..use SCCM to deploy the Forefront initial client rollout - but go manage your definitions with WSUS.
