transport Exchange server roles, including Edge, Hub, and
Mailbox/Public Folder servers.

updates for the best protection, and the ability to view update
information about each engine.

and other types of users informed about FPE activity.
- Incidents logging, enabling administrators to
view and analyze the performance of FPE operations.

matches for possible recovery.

the health of your Exchange environment.
