The Value of Turning Off Malware Scanning: Allow Exchange to Function?

January 1, 2022

Happy New Year. Problems with Microsoft Exchange 2019? The fix is quite special and you can get  some suggestions for getting mail working again from Reddit’s sysadmin forum. Try this link to learn how to by pass the malware engine. The trick is to disable malware scanning or use the bypass method described in the Reddit post.

Several thoughts:

  1. Useful issue for computer science classes in certain countries unfriendly toward the US to explore
  2. There is room for improvement in Microsoft software quality control processes
  3. This Microsoft Exchange issue matches nicely with netlogon and no-auth exchange RCE missteps.

Here’s the link to the fix: https://bit.ly/3FPNBYc

Outstanding work, Microsoft.

PS. The Register added another MSFT Happy New Year in its post “Going Round in Circles with Windows in Singapore.” There is an illustration of the helpful, detailed, extremely useful error notification. Outstanding work, price war cloud people called Redmondians.
