Actually this is right. I had Norton virus scanner and the Exchange version running on an old Exchange 5.5 Server and when we got hit by a virus, it ended up quarantining the log (or was it the DB, can't remember) file and killing the exchange server.. So if you do scan with a file level virus scanner, exclude the Exchange, DB, and log directory.

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!
