In a nutshell, yes.

Make sure Exchange is patched to at least SP4.

Beg, borrow, or steal Hotfix 7 for Groupshield and apply
as soon as possible.  This is a critical update, needed for
core functionality of the product.  I would not try to run
Groupshield without it.  Actually, I did, which is why I
make this comment :-(

You'll need to edit the registry on the exchange server

In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\VirusScan
set the OpenRetryDelay value to at least 0x500 (we use 0x800 here).

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q264/7/31.ASP

recommends an even higher value.

And after changing this key, you'll need to restart the Exchange
IS service.  NAI claims you don't need to, but, not so in our
experience.

Cheers,

Phil
