How to Create a Server Policy

You use a server policy for message tracking and maintenance settings for message tracking log files. This procedure outlines how to create a server policy.

Before You Begin

Before you can create a server policy (or, for that matter, any other system policy) in an administrative group, you must add a system policy container. For detailed information on creating a system policy container, see How to Create a System Policy Container. After you create a server policy, you must add servers to the policy. For detailed information on adding servers to a server policy, see How to Add Servers to a Server Policy.

Procedure

To create a server policy

1. In Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups, expand the appropriate administrative group, right-click System Policies, point to New, and then click Server policy.

2. On the General (Policy) tab (see the following figure), select the following options:

   • To log the message subject and make this subject visible when messages are tracked, select Enable subject logging and display.

   • To track all messages that flow to and from the server, select Enable message tracking.
