McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange 8.6.0

Configure time slots

Set up different time slots or configure existing time slots that can be applied to policies, based on your Exchange organization's requirement.

Time Slots enable you to specify the time during which certain rules must be triggered. For example, you might want to restrict large file upload or download during office hours.

There might be situations where you require more time slots, based on different users, their geographical locations, or working hours. You can create more time slots based on business hours, non-business hours, weekly maintenance, and so on.

By default, MSME has these time slots:

All the time
Weekdays
Weekends
You cannot delete or edit the default time slot All the time, as the Master policy uses it.
