Applying Operating System Updates on Exchange Servers
An important part of computer maintenance is ensuring that operating systems and software are
up to date. Updates—known as "fixes," "patches," "service packs," and "security rollup
packages"—help to protect computers and data.
You can use your preferred method for deploying software updates, such as Automatic Updates
or Windows Server Update Services, on Exchange servers that are protected by Data Protection
Manager (DPM). Because some software updates require a computer restart, you should
schedule or perform the updates at times that have the least impact on protection operations.
Running Antivirus Software on Exchange Servers
To prevent data corruption of replicas and shadow copies, configure the antivirus software to
delete infected files rather than automatically cleaning or quarantining them. Automatic cleaning
and quarantining can result in data corruption because these processes cause the antivirus
software to modify files, making changes that Data Protection Manager (DPM) cannot detect. For
instructions on configuring your antivirus software to delete infected files, see the documentation
for your antivirus software.
