  1. Add the following key and set it to "1".

    Key: DisableLocalAdminHasFullPermission
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data value:
    "0" = SMEX allows local and domain administrators to log on to the web console.
    "1" = SMEX does not allow local and domain administrators to log on to the web.

  2. Restart the ScanMail Master Service.
