Email Security Gateway initial configuration
The first time you access Email Security Gateway, you are prompted for your subscription key. Then, you are asked if you want to use the First-Time Configuration Wizard. This wizard guides you through the process of entering some essential configuration settings. It is strongly recommended you use this wizard. See the Email Security Gateway Manager Help for more information about the wizard.
