Active Folders Content Manager helps to enforce a centralized e-policy across mailboxes, local and networked PST files and public folders, for greater security and to minimize liability associated with inappropriate e-mail content. Used by many organizations and government agencies for forensic electronic evidence discovery, Active Folders can quickly and efficiently search for emails by multiple attributes, cutting down on the need for manual resources. It is also an effective means to discover and remove viruses that have passed
into the Exchange Information Stores, without stopping the email service, and to
recover redundant storage space through the identification of attachments. By scanning mailboxes, public folders or PST files by either their content or attributes, Content Manager will find all the matches, discover who is responsible and carry out actions on the results. Content Manager will help with questions such as:
Layered Defense Content Manager adds another vital layer of defense to your company in the challenge to prevent e-mail borne viruses affecting your business.

Active Folders Content Manager is an application that searches and manages the Exchange information stores (public, private and personal stores) for content matching the search criteria set by the administrator. The message and attachments are searched by an NT / Win2k service that is installed on a dedicated server or installed on the Exchange server. What to search for Active Folders provides a simple and effective method of creating criteria (policies). These policies are schedulable, and the results of each policy run are saved, meaning Active Folders becomes a great comparative tool for the effectiveness of e-policy in your organization.
Setting up policies is achieved using an intuitive and flexible interface All message criteria can be searched upon such as creation date, size of attachments and of course key words. The policies themselves are schedulable and can easily be set to search at times of low utilization. Where to search The entire public and private information stores on both Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000 can be searched if needed. Alternatively you will be able to search by selecting distribution lists, meaning you can search in more specific areas. By setting folder criteria in the search you will be able to further narrow it by for example, only searching the sent items. Active Folders Content Manager allows you to search not only the message body but also attachments (Office documents), making this a flexible approach to reducing your liability and securing your Exchange system. Active Folders gives the administrator the ability to search not only the server based information stores (public folders and mailboxes) but also the private stores (PST files) that are held on central file stores or users' local machines. PST files are one of the biggest headaches for administrators with their lack of central content management, ability to corrupt and their impacts on backups. Active Folders allows organizations to centrally manage PST files. What actions to take Many of the policy runs that are undertaken simply report back the items that meet the criteria. After the completion of each run the results are stored so they can be examined at a later date using a tool such as Microsoft Excel©. Other searches may require actions on the matches other than listing them. All actions that Active Folders Content Manager can perform are:
Active Folders Service runs on an Intel based Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later installation (Professional edition or Server edition). The server should be a minimum of a 1.4GHz machine with and 40Gb disk space. It should have at least 256Mb of memory more than the equivalent correctly configured system would have without Active Folders Service installed. Active Folders Service can be installed on:
If you are using Exchange 5.5, it should be at least on Service Pack 3. If you are using Exchange 2000, it should be at least on Service Pack 1. Active Folders Admin runs on an Intel based Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later installation running at least a 1.4GHz processor with at least 256MB minimum memory, that can communicate with the Active Folders Service and Exchange server. In addition, both components need either Exchange Admin or Exchange System Manager to be installed on the same machine, in order to get the correct messaging environment. If you install Active Folders Service on a server that has Exchange System Manager 2003 installed without Exchange 2003 being installed, you will not be able to automatically e-mail the results of policy runs. Neither component can be installed on Windows NT, although they can be installed on a Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later system and then used to connect to an Exchange 5.5 system that is installed on Windows NT. Automatic or interactive installation You will be asked during the installation whether you want to choose automatic or interactive installation:
If you have a multi-domain environment and two way trusts are not in place between each of the domains, then you should consider an Interactive installation. Download 30 Day Free Evaluation Copy Before downloading the software, please fill in the small form below.
