Ill throw in 2 cents
Have you read and "properly" implemented/understood security and security
recommendations for IIS4 for your OWA in your application???
If not you have a LOT more to worry about..

Hey I might scan the WEBDATA directory myself.....in fact... I have my OWA
on it's own IIS server so yes I do scan the entire exchsrvr dir...

of course file base AV scanning get no where near the exch server itself,
just exch AV a where does

My concern is that some of the dirctories have the HTML for the OWA.  I want
to make sure that these files are scanned at each access.  This means (I
think) that I want to make sure that exchsrvr\webdata is included in the AV
scan.

Right now, the priv and pub databases are on a separate physical disk (D:)
than the rest of the \exchsrvr files (E:).  The D: drive excludes \exchsrvr
(with just 2 files in the tree).  The E: drive is completely scanned.

Am I on the wrong track?

Thanks,

Danny

I recommend a subset, excluding the \exchsrvr\*data directories on all
disks, but Martin's suggestion will work too!

Exclude the entire \Exchsrvr folders on all disks.

One a similar subject.

NT 4.0 sp6a, Exchange 5.5 sp4 (?) with OWA on the server box.

Besides AV for the Exchange, I also have an AV software scanning the
disks and scanning disk accesses.  I have excluded pub.mdb, priv.mdb and
the pagefile from the AV scan.

My question:

Is there anything else I should exclude from the scan?  Say log files or
MTA directories?  I have not heard performance complaints from the users
(the box is not overloaded by any stretch of the imagination) but do not
want to cause trouble with the smooth operation of the box.

Any suggestion or advice is greatly appreciated.

TIA

Danny

Hi,

 I'm trying to find a good antivirus solution for exchange. I checked
out Norton AV for Exchange, McCafee and TrendMicro's antivirus for
exchange. TrendMicro's seems good.  Which one do you advice? Or is there
any better product?
