We have released a minor update versioned 3.1 to CodeTwo Exchange Rules, an application used in the management of disclaimers and signatures in Exchange mail. The new items in the program include:
- Extra Active Directory cache has been added to the application. This will reduce the queries to Active Directory leading to enhanced performance.
- It is possible now to add custom Active Directory fields used by the program. The file containing custom variables named SchemaExtension.txt must be placed in the installation directory of the application. The newly added variables are available in the signature editor after restarting the server.
- New installer for a desktop installation. It is possible to install the program on a desktop without Exchange. This is useful for customers who want non-admin users without access to Exchange to prepare the settings and footer templates to be later copied to the server. Read more about how to use the desktop version.
- The rare problem in which messages containing large attachments or addressed to large distribution groups were not delivered has been fixed.
For a full list of changes, please see the version history page.
The update is dedicated for users of 3.0 and is free of charge. To update the currently used version with the fix, download and run the installer. The previous version will be automatically detected and patched. Detailed information on the update procedure can be found here.
Due to limitations of Exchange Server 2000 and 2003, you need to restart your server for the changes to take effect. Otherwise the upgrade procedure will not be completed and your mail will not be processed properly.
Just installed this and it required a restart of the Exchange server – why?
