SQL Server Requirements

Which SQL Server to Use for the Quarantine Database?
The product requires Microsoft® SQL Server for the quarantine
management. The following versions of Microsoft SQL Server are
recommended to use:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise, Standard, Workgroup or

Express edition) with the latest service pack
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (Enterprise, Standard, Workgroup or

Express edition)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 is distributed
with the product and can be installed during F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange Setup.
When centralized quarantine management is used, the SQL server
must be reachable from the network and file sharing must be
enabled.
The product supports also Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack
4 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) with Service
Pack 4.
As a minimum requirement, the Quarantine database should have the
capacity to store information about all inbound and outbound mail to and
from your organization that would normally be sent during 2-3 days.
The upgrade installation does not upgrade the SQL server if you
choose to use the existing database.
If you want to upgrade MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Express,
follow the instructions on the Microsoft web page:
