Installing G DATA Exchange Mail Security

Before you start, make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • The G DATA Management Server has already established contact to our update servers (e.g. through a virus signature update) and the licence authorisation is available to G DATA Management Server.

  • You are logged in with an administrator for whom an active Exchange mailbox has been set up.

  • The Exchange Shell is ready to function.

The plugin should be installed on all Exchange servers running the Mailbox role or Hub transport role.
