Summary

The ScanMail Server Management console allows you to view all of the ScanMail servers on a network. You will only see servers with the same type of Activation Code (AC).

This article will show you ways on how the Server Management can be activated.

Details

The Server Management console displays remote server status and will let you replicate the settings to remote servers. The Server Management is activated using either of the following methods:

During SMEX installation – allows activation on more than one SMEX Server at the same time.
After SMEX is installed – activation needs to be done for each SMEX Server separately:
1. Log on to the ScanMail server using an account with local administrator privileges.
2. Click the Server management link on the top part of the product console.
3. Specify an existing group in the Active Directory. The activation wizard will prompt the steps required to activate the Server Management.

For ScanMail with Exchange Server 2016, 2013 and 2010, if you have not activated Server Management yet, select an existing group in the Active Directory. After activation, log out from the product console and log in again to use Server Management.
