Upgrade to a version of Microsoft Exchange Server that is currently supported.

Question

I went through the Nessus vulnerability scanning software my Echange server and it prompted me for this, I do have antivirus software installed on my server that provides vulnerability updates on a regular basis, what other actions do I need to do now

Answer 1

I personally use Windows defender for all Microsoft products so I do not have compatibility issues.

Answer 2

That generally means the scanner software detected an unsupported version of the Exchange Server. This may even include versions of Exchange that are out-of-date and missing the past 6 months or more of updates. Ensure your Windows and Exchange server is updated with the latest security updates. If the scanner still detects a problem after updates and reboots, check the details of the scanner to see what it picked up. It may be a false positive. There may be an old registry entry or file that should be removed. You can also consider reaching out to the Tenable Community [tenable.com] if you are unable to resolve a false positive condition with their software.
