Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
In order to be able to connect to the Security Server, the user must
have the local administrator rights for the computer to which the con-
nection is attempted.
The rights verification is performed based on the standard Microsoft
Windows network user authentication process.
In order to connect to the Security Server:
select the node that corresponds to the necessary server in the console
tree, open the shortcut menu and select the
Connect to the server
com-
mand or use a similar item in the
Action
menu.
If the connection with the server was successfully established, the settings of this
server will be displayed in the main application window: the node structure will
include folders
Notification templates
,
Backup storage
,
Report templates
and
Virus outbreak counters
.
If the connection could not be established, the application will display a warning
with the indication of the problem and a suggestion to connect next time the
Management Console is started.
One Security Server can have several Management Consoles connected to it. In
this case, working with the same server from several consoles, you should
regularly update information on each console. In order to do this, use the
Refresh
command available via the shortcut menu or the similar command in the
Action
menu.
4.5. Minimum required configuration
After the installation, the application will start working with the minimum set of
parameters, most of which are default optimum settings recommended by the
Kaspersky Lab's experts. If necessary, depending on the network properties and
the characteristics of the computer where Microsoft Exchange Server is installed,
you can make all required changes and additions.
If you connect to the internet using a proxy server, you will have to con-
figure your connection settings to receive updates (see section 5.4,
page 43).
In order to ensure full functionality of the mail server protection, it is necessary to
configure settings used to notify the administrator or other users about the events
occurred and about the virus outbreaks threat (see Chapter 11, page 93).
The application settings are configured from the administrator's workstation – a
computer on which the Management Console is installed. This operation can be
performed irrespective of whether the Microsoft Exchange server application is
running on the server.
