Syntax
Enable-AntispamUpdates [-Identity <ServerIdParameter>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-IPReputationUpdatesEnabled <$true | $false>] [-MicrosoftUpdate <NotConfigured | RequestDisabled | RequestNotifyDownload | RequestNotifyInstall | RequestScheduled | Configured>] [-SpamSignatureUpdatesEnabled <$true | $false>] [-UpdateMode <Disabled | Manual | Automatic>]
Detailed Description
This cmdlet controls the types of anti-spam updates that are downloaded. This cmdlet also controls whether the anti-spam updates are downloaded automatically or require the administrator to manually retrieve the updates by visiting Microsoft Update. You set the UpdateMode parameter to Automatic
for automatic download of Exchange anti-spam updates. You set the UpdateMode parameter to Manual
to manually retrieve Exchange anti-spam updates. For more information, see How to Configure Anti-Spam Automatic Updates.
If it is required, the Enable-AntispamUpdates task also performs the opt-in operation. Users must opt in to using Microsoft Update so that anti-spam updates published on Microsoft Update are visible to the Exchange server.
To take advantage of Spam signature updates and IP Reputation Service updates, you must set the UpdateMode parameter to Automatic
.
To run the Enable-AntispamUpdates cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
To run the Enable-AntispamUpdates cmdlet on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
