How to configure Single Exchange Server 2007 Anti-Spam Agents

While it is always recommended to separate your ‘front-end’ Exchange Server (Edge) from the back-end (your Hub Transport), your budget doesn’t always allow this.

So, to enable the following functions, on your standalone Exchange implementation…

  • Connection Filtering Agent
  • Content Filter Agent
  • Sender ID Agent
  • Sender Filter Agent
  • Recipient Filter Agent
  • Protocol Analysis Agent

 

You need to open the power shell and run the following

Go to your Exchange Scripts Directory:

D:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerScripts (or whatever your path might be)

.install-AntispamAgents.ps1
