ESET Mail Security Policy

[mars_ots 2]

Just installed the latest version of ESET Mail Security for MS Exchange Server. Is it required to apply or create a policy for it? Or when ESET Mail Security is installed it will provide its basic or predefined/default protection to scan, detect the drives on the server and the database/mailboxes? Or if I apply the build in policy or create is just a matter of utilizing the in-depth features of ESET Mail Security for MS Exchange server?

You don't need to apply a policy unless you want to change some settings remotely or want to lock settings and thus prevent them from being tampered with by unauthorized persons.

Got it. How about the initial configuration from the ESET Mail Security installation guide, setting a scheduled on-demand computer scan on the drives? Is that required or the real time scanning is enough?
