Did he say why? It's just nonsense to say that and not provide a reason. If your Exchange server *gasp* provides other services, like file and print, then sure. If it is just an exchange server with no shares available to users etc, then I see no reason to.
Scan all service packs prior to application to your Exchange Server as well as anything else you apply to it. That's just me.

Just exclude the DB's and all is well. I have heard also 2 sides: this is true and NEVER run file-level AV on an Exchange server. What's the group consensus? And if it is aye! He's right! Is excluding all *.edb enough? TIA!
