Using Search & Destroy in Mixed Exchange Environments Parent topic

The Search & Destroy feature can only search and take action on mailboxes in Exchange environments that are the same version as the Exchange environment associated with the ScanMail installation. For administrators with multiple ScanMail servers that manage multiple Exchange versions, Search & Destroy tasks must be run separately on each ScanMail server.
For example:
A ScanMail server installed in an Exchange 2010 environment cannot perform Search & Destroy tasks on an Exchange 2013 database. To search both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 databases, administrators must perform a Search & Destroy search task from the ScanMail server installed on Exchange 2010 and then run a separate Search & Destroy task from the ScanMail server installed on Exchange 2013.
Note
Note
ScanMail can perform Search & Destroy tasks on multiple Exchange servers if the Exchange Server versions are the same as the Exchange Server version the ScanMail server is associated with.
