What is Monthly Proactive Security Maintenance (MPSM)?

Our Monthly Proactive Security Maintenance service, or MPSM for short, is a useful, automated way of keeping your server current with the latest updates and security patches from Microsoft, and performing full system scans for viruses and malware. When you sign up for MPSM's, you can select which day of the month you would like one of our technicians to log into your server and apply any recent software or security updates. They are done during non-peak time hours overnight, as to limit the unfortunate downtime encountered during necessary reboots.

All of our customers with either Dedicated or Virtual Servers have the option of signing up for MPSM's for FREE, and can do so directly through our Unity Customer Portal.

You first must log into your Unity control panel at https://unity.serverintellect.com

One you are logged in, highlight My Services and click Server Manager.

In the Server Manager section, click the server you use to enable the service for.

In the Server Overview page, click Additional Services tab in the box section in the middle of the page.

On the right side, click Monthly Maintenance.

In this section, you are able to select the different updates you want, which week of the month, day of the week and what time of day you want the maintenance performed.

You also have a section to add any notes for any special requests.

If you need any assistance with this process, or encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Support Department.
