If you make changes in the Exchange Management Console to the configuration of a DAG that has been added to a profile in Kaspersky Security, consider the following specifics of the settings of Security Servers belonging to this DAG in Kaspersky Security:
- If you install Kaspersky Security on a Microsoft Exchange server belonging to a DAG that has been added to a profile, the settings of this profile are applied to the relevant Security Server in Kaspersky Security after installation.
- If you use the Exchange Management Console to add a Microsoft Exchange server with Kaspersky Security installed to a DAG that has been added to a profile in Kaspersky Security, the settings of this profile are applied to the relevant Security Server in Kaspersky Security. If the DAG has not been added to a profile, individual settings of this DAG are applied to the relevant Security Server in Kaspersky Security.
- If you use the Exchange Management Console to combine several Microsoft Exchange servers with the application installed into a new DAG, the settings of this DAG are applied to the relevant Security Servers in Kaspersky Security. In other words, the common default settings are applied (except for the list of protected storages), while the individual settings of servers remain just like they were before the servers were added to the DAG.
If servers had been added to profiles prior to being combined into a DAG, once combined they still appear not only in the list of DAG servers, but also in such profiles. However, you will not be able to manage the settings of such servers from the profiles. You can manage the settings of these servers only from the profile to which the DAG has been added, or the individual settings of the DAG (if the DAG has not been added to a profile). If necessary, you can remove servers shown in profiles manually.
- If you use the Exchange Management Console to remove a Microsoft Exchange server with the application installed from a DAG that has been added to a profile in Kaspersky Security, the corresponding Security Server is removed from the profile in Kaspersky Security and gets the default settings. After being removed from the DAG, this Security Server is not displayed in the list of profile servers, and you have to add it manually to the list of protected Microsoft Exchange servers or to one of the profiles and configure its settings.
