I used to say no, not all servers, but I have been hit with virus/worms that infect via open ports rather than email or web browsing so now I'm more inclined to install AV on all servers. Yes it has to be configured a bit different on a server than a workstation, but that is more 'a cost of doing business'.

[Cross posted here and on the Vipre Enterprise list] There is some debate among my fellow IS staff here weather AV should be on all 200+ of our servers. From my standpoint my question would be "Why not?" - put it on all servers and exclude what's necessary We are "SQL heavy" and I'm sure performance is the primary concern , but is there any compelling reason to completely leave it off of some servers?
