What does PureMessage store in SQL?

Kos-Symbion

I know Puremessage needs SQL but what does it use it for?

Are actual items like quarantined emails stored or just configuration details?

I'm looking at installing 3.1.2 on  Exchange 2010SP2 box and want to work out whether to use SQL server across WAN or install local SQL on same box.

Thanks,

Kos

    Hi Kos,

    PureMessage for Exchange uses the database for four functions:

    1. Configuration (including the policy, the SQL settings, alert notifications, Exchange paths, etc.)
    2. Directory information, meaning if AD synchronization is configured, then the mapping of usernames to groups and email addresses (for policy, recipient validation, etc.)
    3. Quarantined email messages
    4. Reporting information, tied to statistics tied to email flow, policy rule hits, etc.

    Depending on your Exchange environment, you can choose to install SQL locally for PureMessage if you're working with a simple single Exchange server or two. However, if your Exchange environment turns out to be far larger, or spans multiple physical locations, a dedicated SQL server may work better to share all your settings.
