If was me I'll recommend to backup the config files, uninstall and reinstall in the same folder after upgrade and make sure that you have at least a hard copy of each page of settings. Sometimes is better to take a look instead of only replace it.

The upgrade will be performed on the same machine. Right now I have GroupShield 5.2 and GFI MailEssentials 9 running to protect Exchange. My question is how to deal with those two applications during the upgrade? Should I uninstall and reinstall after or just stop and disable the services? For MailEssentials, GFI recommends to backup the config files, uninstall and reinstall in the same folder after upgrade, but I'm not sure what to do with the antivirus. Any suggestion or advice will be appreciated, Thank you, Cristian Bratu ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: hjsqueiroz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist
