I have 1 exchange server, with 4 Storage groups, each with 4 mailbox stores.
I have messages that contain viruses in these mailbox stores. They where there before I installed MS8.1
I want to run a manual scan to clean them out, but everytime I do - the server crawls. I know this is expected, so I start the background scan at night and stop it early in the morning so I get a lot less complaints from users.
The problem is - when I start the manual scan again, it rescans mailboxes. It doesn't start from where I stopped it. This means I just keep rescanning the same stores and never get to those in the lower storage groups.
Anyone have a way to just "pause" the scan? Or a way to specify which store (or even storage group) I want to scan?

Hi,
It is not possible to specify the Information Store when performing a manual scan. Would it be an option that you try scanning your Exchange Stores during the weekend?
Approximatly, how many emails do you keep in the Information Store?
Do the users download the emails from the Information Store/s?

Why was my follow to my first post removed? I hadn't recieved a response in a couple of days so I posted a follow up. I didn't check the actual thread as I thought no one had replied! Not cool!
Anyway...
I tried the scan over a weekend. We are a 24/7 shop - so I still got flamed - after a full 3 day weekend I got less than a 1/4 through the stores.
I'm not sure how many emails are in the stores - but they add up to 80+gb. All mail is left on the server.
There has to be a way to resume a scan without rescanning mailboxes.
I'm going to be throwing another processor and more memory at the server, but don't beleive that will be any help.
I'm going to have to resort to exporting all mailboxes out to pst and scanning them individually with Norton or something - extremely time consuming!

Why don't you just put Symantec AV corporate edition on the server along with the Exchange agent?
Exclude the relevant Exchange folders from being scanned, along with the GFI folders and the Symantec folders.
Now you can schedule a scan daily or run a manual scan and set the priority. You also get a backup level of protection in case MSEC stops catching viruses.

Thanks for suggestion.
I need to be able to scan the information stores themselves. There are emails in them that are infected.
I'd thought about using SAV - but that would require me scanning the databases - which can cause false positives and other exchange weirdness.
The server file system is free of viruses - I scan that remotley, excluding the exchange folders.
Am I missing something?
