Sophos Endpoint protection on Exchange - questions

D_M

I'll be reading the documentation where I may very well find the answers to all or some of the questions below, but some seem important enough to ask here directly.

1. Does Sophos Endpoint Protection, when installed on an Exchange server (2007 SP2 - to be upgraded to SP3), automatically detect certain files that should be excluded from a file-level virus scan, the Exchange .edb database for example?

Other products that I've worked with supposedly did this.

2. When used in conjunction with PureMessage, should Endpoint protection be installed first and then PureMessage second?

I was going to ask a couple questions specifically about PureMessage - but there may be a specific forum for them so I'll look for that first.

Many thanks in advance!

    Hello D_M,

    if you do a managed install (i.e. if you don't just run the PureMessage installer but first install Endpoint from the CID - or using Protect Computers) the exclusions will not be set (I assumed this is clear from both what I said and the linked articles) but the SEC group's policy applies. Note there's neither a "transfer" of settings from a client to SEC (what you see in the AV-policy in SEC is what has been set - by you or defaulted - in SEC, in case the client has different settings you'll just see Differs from policy) nor any client-application/feature/role detection and corresponding customization of policies (automatically) done by SEC.
