Installation?
Hard drive size is an important reliability factor. Hard drive performance is
crucial for Microsoft Exchange Server to perform well. For best
performance, a RAID system is recommended; for servers with only
moderate load, SCSI hard disks are adequate. If your server has an IDE
hard disk, DMA access support is recommended.
It is highly recommended to have the latest service packs for the
operating system being used. These fixes make the platform more stable
and thus increase the reliability of the system.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be managed either with
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console or F-Secure
Policy Manager Console. You can select the management method when
you install the product.
If you already use F-Secure Policy Manager to administer other F-Secure
products, it is recommended to install F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange in centralized administration mode.
The quarantined mails are managed using the F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange Web Console in both centrally administered and
stand-alone installations. In centrally managed environments all other
features are managed with F-Secure Policy Manager.
