Forefront jobs and newly added servers


Error description:

We are unable to deploy jobs to newly added servers in the Forefront management console


Symptoms:

When we open the management console for Forefront Security for Exchange and going to the Management jobs, no newly added servers are visible. This means that we can't run any job against those new servers. 


Solution:

For some reason Forefront jobs are not aware of the membership changes to server groups. We need to 'edit' the config to refresh the members.


Actions:

Edit the job configuration, don't change any settings. The only thing that you' ll have to do is check the checkbox for the server group that the job must run against. Forefront will check the server group and sees the new servers now. Try running the job again. Now the New servers will be added and the job will runn succesfully ( normally )
