Configuring and running the Manual Scan Job
Applies to: Forefront Security for Exchange Server
Forefront Security for Exchange Server enables you to customize the Manual Scan Job to scan mailboxes that are not covered by the Realtime Scan Job or that contain messages that predate the installation of Forefront Security for Exchange Server. The Manual Scan Job is also useful for scanning with a third-party engine that is different from those being used by the Realtime Scan Job. It is recommended that you run a full manual scan after installing Forefront Security for Exchange Server for the first time.
Note
The Manual Scan Job can be configured to scan message bodies as well as attachments. This feature is disabled by default upon installation, but can be enabled by selecting Body Scanning - Manual in the General Options work pane. Message body scanning increases the time required to perform a manual scan of a server.
Configuring the Manual Scan Job
To modify the Manual Scan Job, click SETTINGS in the Shuttle Navigator, and then click the Scan Job icon. The Scan Job Settings work pane opens to the right.
