Configuring mailbox and public folder protection settings
April 2, 2024
ID 28884
The application can protect the number of mailboxes that does not exceed the limitation of the current key. If this number is insufficient, you can alternate protection between mailboxes. To do so, you have to move to unprotected storage the mailboxes that need no protection. By default, the application also protects all public folders of the mail server. You can remove protection from public folders if you think that scanning them would be redundant.
By default, the application protects those mailbox storages of the Microsoft Exchange server that already existed at the time when the application was installed, as well as all newly-created storages.
To configure the protection settings for mailboxes and public folders:
- Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
- To configure the protection settings for mailboxes and public folders for an unassigned Security Server, maximize the node of the relevant Security Server
- To configure the protection settings for mailboxes and public folders for Security Servers belonging to a profile, maximize the Profiles node and inside it maximize the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to configure the protection settings for mailboxes and public folders.
- Select the Server protection node.
- In the workspace, on the Protection for the Mailbox role tab, expand the Protection for mailboxes configuration section.
The Protected mailbox storages list contains the storages of mailboxes and shared folders of the protected Microsoft Exchange server.
If the application is running in a DAG of Microsoft Exchange servers, this list contains the storages of mailboxes and shared folders on all the servers within this DAG.
When viewed from a profile, the Protected mailbox storages list shows only the protected storages of those Microsoft Exchange servers on which Anti-Virus for the Mailbox role is deployed.
- In the Protected mailbox storages list, select the check boxes of the mailbox storages for which protection should be enabled.
- Click the Save button.
