Exchange Security Risk Auditor (ESRA) and Archive One Access Security
Manager (ASM) allow the monitoring and controlling of permissions in an Exchange
system. In most Exchange systems there can be at least tens of
thousands of permissions. It is virtually impossible to ensure that
all permissions are correct, giving you the appropriate security you
require.
Three permissions areas are checked:
Security Auditing
The information store can be searched for specific permissions or roles, or for all the roles that are assigned to specific users or groups of users. This makes ESRA the ideal tool for an Exchange security audit. Who does have access to the board of directors' e-mail accounts? Are the secure public folders as secure as we need them to be? The application has been designed to be operated by professionals concerned with the security of corporate e-mail. Permission MaintenanceNot only is ESRA/ASM an ideal tool for the security audit, it is also an invaluable tool for day to day permissions maintenance. For example, cleaning up the rights and permissions of deleted users is no longer a problem. With ESRA/ASM, the deleted user can be described and located anywhere in the Exchange public or private information stores. Other tasks such as reassigning rights is easy as you do not need to know where the original user had rights, only that the new users will have the same ones.
Once a permission is located it can be changed in a simple fashion. If you have chosen to alter permissions in any way then ESRA/ASM will highlight the changes before any update is performed, meaning that you are always in control of permissions updates. You will also be able to export the results of a permissions search directly to Excel. Deployment and supportESRA/ASM is a standalone application (not requiring a service) that is controlled using a standard MMC Snap-in. It is run on NT, 2000 and XP operating systems and supports both Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000. It is suggested that the application be installed on a desktop machine as opposed to being installed on the same machine as the Exchange Server. It uses Windows messaging (minimum Outlook 98 required on ESRA machine) to access the Exchange server and sufficient permissions will be needed by the user both installing and operating ESRA. The specific permissions that are needed are outlined in the ESRA manual. |
