Exchange
will usually need extra software to make the complete
solution. There is a vast array of add-ons for
Exchange server to extend its functionality. Below
is a list of the most commonly requested.
We
can recommend the most suitable for your environment,
and install, configure and support add-ons as required
Please
click on the section headings to go to MsExchange.Org,
which will give further details on the category
of software you're interested in.

Anti-virus
software must be a key part of any Exchange
server installation.
Threats from email bourne viruses are constant
and a well designed anti-virus strategy would
include AV software on the email server,
desktops and file servers, preferably from
different vendors to increase the chance
of detection and eradication. Many firms
will even have a separate email anti-virus
firewall between the Exchange server and
the Internet to try and reduce further the
risk of virus attack. We have experience
of all the leading anti-virus software and
solutions. |
|
Email
content checking (for example for the presence
Mpegs, AVIs, or malicious code ) can be another
customer requirement. Frequently
companies wish to or have to guard against
the transfer of inappropriate material within
the enterprise. Or the monitoring and suppression
of confidential information may be important.
We have installed and configured a range
of this software, including GFi
MailSecurity and Mailsweeper,
part of the Mimesweeper range of products. |

How
do you add disclaimers to Exchange? It does
not offer the addition of disclaimers out
of the box - third party software will be
necessary, or in the case of Exchange
5.5 a dll can be used which can be obtained
from Microsoft. There are several vendors
who offer disclaimer software. We can advise
you which one will be the most appropriate
for your needs depending on your requirements.
Adding a disclaimer to Exchange is becoming
increasingly important - many companies have
to use disclaimers.
- Do
you require a single simple company wide
disclaimer?
- Different
disclaimer for every division within a
large organisation?
- Disclaimers
that will differ depending on user location,
department or even down to individual user?
- Disclaimers
including graphics, formatted HTML?

Fax Servers
|
Email
still hasn't done away completely for the
need of a fax, but fax can be completely
integrated with email. There are
numerous fax solutions designed to work with
Exchange and we have worked with the leading
fax server solutions, including GFI FAXmaker
for Exchange, Esker Fax for Exchange, Faxination
for MS Exchange and RightFax. These products
have been implemented as pure Exchange connectors.
We are a GFI reseller and can supply, install
and support GFI FAXMaker. |

There
any many other useful Exchange server additions
not covered in the other sections. From
an Outlook Web Access spellchecker (often
requested functionality) to specialised Exchange
recovery software. |

A
group of six critical services are monitored
(using the built-in monitoring in Exchange
2000 onwards). These six critical
services are:
Exchange
can also monitor some other critical items
that include:
- Available
virtual memory - the percentage of virtual
memory that is presently available
- CPU
utilization - the percentage of CPU time
that is presently in use
- Free
disk space - the amount of disk space in
megabytes (MB) that is available for use
- SMTP
queue growth - the number of minutes that
the current queue has grown continuously
- Windows
2000 service - various services running on
the Exchange server
- X.400
queue growth - the number of minutes that
the current queue has grown continuously.
Exchange
can be configured to alert when services stop
or pre-defined thresholds are breached.
Many
companies require more complicated monitoring
software which can also record data, produce
detailed alerts and are almost infinitely configurable
in terms of alerting criteria. The two best
known are from NetIQ (Appmanager for Exchange)
and Microsoft (MOM). We can help you with these. |

Many
companies require detailed email performance
metrics to evaluate the performance of their
email system and know exactly how
much email they are sending and receiving.
They require full metrics on all messaging
traffic, server availability and information
store contents statistics - this is not easy
without third party software. There are two
products that we recommend and have experience
of - NetIQ Appanalyzer for Exchange and Hypersoft's
Omnianalyser. They are both heavyweight email
monitoring software, with specific versions
for Microsoft Exchange. Typical applications
are:-
- Complete
mail statistics and estimation of usage trends
- Monitoring
of end to end mail delivery
- Monitoring
Service Level Agreement compliance
- Evaluation
of server/service performance
- Capacity
planning
- Searching
for prohibited email or content

A "spam" e-mail
is generally defined as an unsolicited mailing,
usually to many people. Spam e-mailers
have become a separate part of the Internet,
with their own host computers, methods, and
politics.
It
is essential that any Exchange server connected
to the Internet is properly configured so it
will not allow spammers to use it as a relay
server to send messages.
To
stop incoming spam, third party software will
usually be necessary as Exchange has limited
abilities to stop it. There are numerous anti-spam
software developers. We can help you choose
the right one for your environment and quickly
get it up and running. Amongst the best known
and best regarded by the industry and customers
is GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP, which
filters out spam, as well as adding other functionality,
such as disclaimers. |
