Steven, The scenario of adding NAI NetShield to your Exchange server(s) with Antigen is compatible and supported by our Tech team, as long as you configure NetShield to exclude the Exchange and Antigen directories from real-time and manual scanning. Feel free to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have further questions. Thanks for using Antigen.

We have not used any other anti-virus software to protect the server or operating system itself. Three years ago when the Exchange systems were being installed it was known that file scanning anti-virus software could or would corrupt information store files and perhaps log files as well. The architect recommended that no anti-virus software be installed at that time. Desktops and other servers are protected with file scanning anti-virus software which is updated nightly. We have been asked / directed to install server file scanning software (NAI) on our Exchange servers. This weekend I have been running it in the lab on an Exchange server and have excluded the partition with the information store and the partition with the log files. Can you tell me what the consensus is on this issue and do you run server anti-virus software along with Exchange aware anti-virus software. Thanks.
