4.6 Using F-Secure Policy Manager Console
In the centralized administration mode, you can open F-Secure Anti-Virus
for Microsoft Exchange components from the
Windows Start menu >
Programs > F-Secure Policy Manager Console . When the Policy
Manager Console opens, go to the Advanced Mode user interface by
selecting
View > Advanced Mode (this step is required in F-Secure Policy
Manager version 5.50 and later). Then select the Policy tab to view the
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange components.
F-Secure Policy Manager Console is used to create policies for F-Secure
Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange installations that are running on
selected hosts or groups of hosts. Policies are created by assigning
values to variables shown on the
Policy tab of the Properties pane (the
middle pane) in F-Secure Policy Manager Console. To assign a value,
select a variable – marked by the leaf icon – in the
Properties pane and
enter the value in the Editor pane (the right pane).
After a policy is created, it must be distributed to hosts by choosing
Distribute from the File menu.
After changing the settings and distributing the policy, you have to wait for
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange to poll the policy.
For detailed information on installing and using F-Secure Policy Manager
console, see the F-Secure Policy Manager Administrator’s Guide.
For testing purposes you may also want to change the polling
intervals. To do that, select the domain in F-Secure Policy Manager
console and set the Incoming Packages Polling Interval and
Outgoing Packages Update Interval variables to 30-45 seconds.
The variables are located under each of the two trees in the
F-Secure Management Agent / Settings / Communications branch.
Note that since the default polling interval is 10 minutes, it might
take up to 10 minutes for the new setting to take effect.
Alternatively, you can click Poll the server now in F-Secure
Management Agent.
