CSA and AntiVirus for CCM & Unity

mightyking · ‎12-06-2007

Hello Experts,

Here's my IPT environment:

CCM 5.1.2

Unity 4.2(1)VM

Exchange (IMAP) 2003

This is a new install and I am looking for the right and bug free version of CSA and Antivirus. Could you please let me know which version of CSA and Anitvirus I can use? Please also send me a Doc showing how to install CSA and Antivirus in CCM 5.1 (Linux). And my last question is do I need to schedule a downtime?

Thanks,

MK

Thanks Allan,

Do I need to reboot the servers after installing Anti-virus and CSA.

Thanks,

Each AV is different. Some will install with no reboot, others will need a reboot to function properly.

As for the CSA, I do believe you need to restart regardless.

I'd also suggest, if you're installing CSA for the first time, install AV first to save yourself a little time.
