Ensure that you meet all system requirements before you install Mail Security. Select the installation plan that best matches your organization's needs, and ensure that you have met the preinstallation requirements.
See Installing Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange
See Uninstalling Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange.
Install Mail Security on all of the following server roles in your organization:
Edge Transport servers, if available
Hub Transport servers
Mailbox servers
You must uninstall and reinstall the product if you change the server role on which Mail Security is installed.
Do the following before you install the product:
If you have Symantec Brightmail™ AntiSpam on the same server on which you want to install Mail Security, you must uninstall Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam before you install Mail Security. It is recommended that you do not run Mail Security on the same server as Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam.
If you use the optional email tools feature of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) or Symantec AntiVirus™ Corporate Edition (SAV-CE), you must uninstall the feature before you install Mail Security. These email tools are not compatible with Mail Security or Microsoft Exchange.
If you have any antivirus software that is on the server on which you want to install Mail Security, you must disable it before you install Mail Security.
After installation but before you turn on the antivirus protection, configure your other antivirus programs to exclude certain folders from scanning.
Log on as a Windows domain administrator to install Mail Security components correctly.
Modify your screen resolution to a minimum of 1024 x 768. Mail Security does not support a resolution less than 1024 x 768.
Configure the default receive connector for the Exchange Hub Transport server to permit connections from anonymous users.
Before you install Mail Security on Exchange 2010 mailbox role, you must specify a domain user account. The domain user account must fulfill the following criteria.
Mail Security uses the domain user account as a service account and this account must have a mailbox.
The user must be a member of Organization Management group under the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups Organizational Unit.
By default, Organization Management group is a member of the local Administrators group on all the exchange servers in the organization. If not, then add the user to the local Administrators group.
You may use different user account for installations of Mail Security on other Exchange 2010 mailbox servers within that domain for better performance.
When the user updates the password, the same password must be provided to the Mail Security Service on all Exchange 2010 mailbox role servers.
Note: | While installing Mail Security on local Exchange 2010 Mailbox server, in the Logon Information screen, specify the domain user credentials in the and fields. Mail Security provides this user account Application Impersonation and Logon as service rights. |
Ensure that the following IIS Role Service components are installed when you install Mail Security on Windows Server 2008 for Exchange 2007 and 2010 servers. This installation is applicable for both remote installation and local installation.
