Discussion: Securing Edge Transport Servers

The Edge Transport server role: What Is the Edge Transport Server Role? The Edge Transport server role provides: Internet message delivery Antivirus and anti-spam protection Edge transport rules Address rewriting Cannot be deployed with any other server role Should not be a member of the internal Active Directory domain Should be deployed in a perimeter network

Edge Transport Server Role Infrastructure Requirements The Edge Transport server: Must be configured with a Fully Qualified Domain Name Requires a minimal number of ports opened on the internal and external firewalls Must be configured with the IP addresses for DNS servers that can resolve DNS names on the Internet

What Is AD LDS? AD LDS on an Edge Transport server stores: Schema information Configuration information Recipient information AD LDS is an LDAP directory service that stores information for directory-enabled applications You can use the Exchange Server 2010 tools to perform most of the AD LDS configuration tasks

Demonstration: How to Configure Edge Transport Servers In this demonstration, you will: Review the Edge Transport server default configuration

What Is Edge Synchronization? Reasons for implementing Edge Synchronization include: Simplifying Edge Transport server configuration Using recipients for transport or filtering rules Edge Synchronization replicates Active Directory information to AD LDS on Edge Transport servers Edge Synchronization: Includes configuration and recipient information Is always initiated by Hub Transport servers

How Internet Message Flow Works Hub Transport / Client Access / Mailbox Server Edge Transport Server

Demonstration: How to Configure Edge Synchronization In this demonstration, you will: Enable Edge Synchronization Test Edge Synchronization Configure address rewriting

What Is Cloned Configuration? To implement cloned configuration, use the: ExportEdgeConfig script to export configuration information ImportEdgeConfig script to validate the configuration on the target server, and then create an answer file ImportEdgeConfig script to import configuration information Cloned configuration is a process of configuring multiple Edge Transport servers with identical configurations

Discussion: Securing Edge Transport Servers Why is it important to secure Edge transport servers? What factors should you consider at the operating system level? How do you secure an Edge Transport Server?

Lesson 2: Deploying an Antivirus Solution Antivirus Solution Features in Exchange Server 2010 What Is Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server? Forefront Protection 2010 Deployment Options Best Practices for Deploying an Antivirus Solution Demonstration: How to Install and Configure Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server

Antivirus Solution Features in Exchange Server 2010 Exchange Server 2010 supports: Using the same VSAPI as is used in Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 Using transport agents to filter and scan messages Using antivirus stamping to mark each scanned message Integration with Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server

What Is Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server? Benefits of Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server include: Full support for VSAPI Antivirus scan with multiple scan engines Microsoft IP Reputation Service Automated content filtering updates Spam signature updates Premium spam protection

Forefront Protection 2010 Deployment Options You can install Forefront Protection 2010: Only on an Edge Transport server or a Hub Transport server On an Edge Transport server or a Hub Transport server and a Mailbox server When installing Forefront Protection 2010, consider: The number of scan engines required The types of scan engines that should be used

Best Practices for Deploying an Antivirus Solution When you implement an antivirus solution, you should: Implement multiple layers of antivirus such as: Firewall or Edge Transport server Client Exchange server Maintain regular antivirus updates

Demonstration: How to Install and Configure Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server In this demonstration, you will see how to: Install Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Configure Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Manage Forefront Protection 2010

Lab A: Configuring Edge Transport Servers and Forefront Protection 2010 Exercise 1: Configuring Edge Transport Servers Exercise 2: Configuring Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Servers Logon information Estimated time: 45 minutes Virtual machines VAN-DC1, VAN-EX1, VAN-SVR1 User nameAdministrator Password Pa$$w0rd

Lab Scenario You are a messaging administrator in A. Datum Corporation, which is a large multinational organization. Your organization has deployed Exchange Server 2010 internally, and it now wants to extend it so that everybody can send and receive Internet . As part of your job responsibilities, you need to set up an Edge Transport server, and then install an antivirus solution to scan all mail.

Lab Review When you implement new certificates on your existing Edge Transport server, what do you need to consider? Does the Forefront Protection 2010 Suite scan the message multiple times when it is passed over Edge Transport and Hub Transport servers?

Lesson 3: Deploying an Anti-Spam Solution Overview of Spam-Filtering Features How Exchange Server 2010 Applies Spam Filters What Is Sender ID Filtering? What Is Sender Reputation Filtering? What Is Content Filtering? Demonstration: How to Configure Anti-Spam Options

Overview of Spam-Filtering Features Feature Filters messages based on: Connection Filtering The IP address of the sending SMTP server Content FilteringThe message contents Sender IDThe IP address of the sending server from which the message was received Sender FilteringThe Sender in the MAIL FROM: SMTP header Recipient FilteringThe Recipients in the RCPT TO: SMTP header Sender ReputationSeveral characteristics of the sender, accumulated over a period of time Attachment Filtering Attachment file name, file name extension, or file MIME content type

Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server How Exchange Server 2010 Applies Spam Filters Internet Sender Filtering Below SCL Threshold Outlook Safe Senders List Exceed SCL Threshold Recipient Filtering Connection Filtering RBL IP Allow List IP Block List Content Filtering Sender ID Filtering

What Is Sender ID Filtering? Internet SMTP Server DNS Server Edge Transport Server Hub Transport Server You can configure it to: Reject messages and issue an nondelivery report (NDR) Delete messages without sending an NDR Stamp the messages with the SenderID result, and continue processing Sender ID filtering is a concept in virus protection that was introduced in Exchange Server 2007

What Is Sender Reputation Filtering? The Protocol Analysis agent assigns an SRL that is based on: Sender open proxy test HELO/EHLO analysis Reverse DNS lookup Analysis of SCL ratings on messages from a particular sender Sender Reputation filtering filters messages based on information about recent messages received from specific senders

What Is Content Filtering? You can configure content filtering to: Delete, reject, or quarantine messages that exceed an SCL value Block or allow messages based on a custom word list Allow exceptions so that messages sent to specified recipients are not filtered Content Filtering analyzes the content of each message and assigns an SCL to the message Quarantined messages are sent to a quarantine mailbox

Demonstration: How to Configure Anti-Spam Options In this demonstration, you will see how to: Configure Connection Filtering Configure Sender and Recipient Filtering Configure Sender ID and Sender Reputation Filtering Configure Content Filtering
