Exchange 2019 pureMessage install

Hi,

 

Our exchange server is going to be upgraded to 2019.

Is this version supported by PureMessage? Most documentation seems to refer to exchange 2016.

 

Thank you,

  • Just jumping on this thread - we have the same issue - puremessage on Exchange 2019. When installing we get "unable to connect to '(local)\SOPHOS'. Please ensure that the selected SQL Server instance is available and that you have the access rights to connect to it'

    Seems to be some SQL Authentication issue? We are unsure how to resolve it.

    Support is sticking to its not supported go to sales - sales arent very proactive

  • No thre are leaving PM behind, move to Sophos to the cloud, and add mail in its rrally good, overcme some of the shortcomings of PM theta they never resolved.

     

    But if like me you still have some on-premise, then the thread above does the trick from Robert Vergeer

     

    Exhange 2019 on Server 2019 PureMessage version 4.04

    IISCrypto best practice (www.nartac.com/.../Download)
    Apply best practice with IISCryto.
    Reboot

    Disable UAC (msconfig tools)
    Reboot

    Extract pmex64_404_sfx.exe
    In the extracted folder there is a subfolder (C:\pme_404_64_AVAS\Resources)
    Run the following programs
    SQLNCLI.MSI
    Vcredist_x64.exe
    SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe
    SQL default installation
    SOPHOS as instance name. (or make an other nice name)
    SQL Browser service on automatic.

    Afther this start the setup from PureMessage and select localhost as database server.
