INTRODUCTION
This article describes how Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server supports MAPI-based Exchange Server 2007 management tasks.

When you perform a MAPI-based management task on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, an antivirus program might start a scan during the task. For example, an antivirus program might start a scan as you move a mailbox, synchronize an offline folder, or import a personal folder file (.pst file). However, when you use Forefront Security for Exchange Server, you can perform certain Exchange 2007 management tasks while Forefront Security runs.



MORE INFORMATION
After you install Forefront Security for Exchange Server on a computer that is running Exchange Server 2007, you can perform the following Exchange 2007 management tasks without disabling Forefront Security:
 * Manually synchronize or automatically synchronize offline folders (.ost files)
 * Move a mailbox to another storage group
 * Import personal folder files (.pst files)
 * Create or remove a storage group
 * Create or remove a mailbox database
 * Back up and restore Exchange databases

Note Forefront Security for Exchange Server performs antivirus scans in real time and uses custom filters that you configure.
