Which Sql Server To Use For The Quarantine Database - F-SECURE ANTI-VIRUS FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE Administrator's Manual

20
2.1 Which SQL Server to Use for the Quarantine
Database?
Microsoft SQL Server
Desktop Engine and
SQL Server 2005
Express Edition
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.
Take into account the following SQL server specific considerations when
deciding which SQL server to use:
When using Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE), the
Quarantine database size is limited to 2 GB.
MSDE includes a concurrent workload governor that limits the
scalability of MSDE. For more information, see

It is not recommended to use MSDE or SQL Server 2005
Express Edition if you are planning to use centralized quarantine
management with multiple F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange installations.
MSDE is delivered together with F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange, and you can install it during the F-Secure
Internet Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Setup. For more
information, see "Installation Overview", 28.
