Title: AD and Network Core Services & Anti-Virus
We had real FRS replication issues previous to SP3 and NAV version 7.51.848.  NAV modified the security descriptor on files during a real-time scan and caused every file that was accessed to get replicated because it was viewed as a change.  I ended up with a 26GB SYSVOL.  NAV 7.51.854 fixed this and has not caused an issue since.  We did disable real-time scanning on the SYSVOL, but scheduled scans run in the early morning.

I have a quick question, Our operating procedures for Core Network Service (AD DCs, WINS, DDNS, CA, Exchange (Antigen), DHCP) servers has been not to run with Anti-Virus protection on them. We feel that the potential for scanner code to conflict with the network service is higher if we do, and since we don't execute man applications from the server unless they are scanned we don't feel we are at much risk.

What I would like to know is, what does everyone on this list feel an is a good strategy when it comes to these types of services and anti-virus product?

Thanks in Advance,
Todd
