We run Trend's Server Protect on the Exchange servers. The standard for
servers here is usually NAV, but they wouldn't certify that NAV would run
correctly on an Exchange server, even if we excluded the correct
directories. Trend certifies that Server Protect will run just fine on
Exchange servers. We also run ScanMail on those servers, which of course
does nothing to protect the local system.

Subject: anti-virus protection for Exchange server os
We are currently using Antigen Anti-virus software on all of our
Exchange servers. 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.
