Not only can it cause major damage with an antivirus running, if the
backup system is configured wrong and you back up the IFS drive you can
do some really interesting things to your information store...
One of the things that I do when installing a new exchange server is
always remove the IFS drive, this is especially important when you are
working in a environment that has some guys working with the OS, other
guys with the backups and so on.

Subject: M drive mapping removal?


I came across this Q article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305145&sd=tech

Which explains "...Microsoft recommends that you remove the drive M
mapping to the IFS, unless you are using the IFS for specific
reasons..."

I have never seen a reason to use this feature, and have even seen
Norton AntiVirus cause corruption when the customer "accidentally"
scanned the M drive.  

Pros/Cons of removing the M drive?  Has anyone incorporated this into
their best practices in deploying Exchange?   

Jeff
