I recommend using Linux for all your server needs, locked down with
firewall and security-enhanced linux or apparmor, scanned regularly
with (free) ClamAV.
Setup, operations training, and regular maintenance will consume some
consulting hours, but it will require no Windows licenses or antivirus
licenses or all the lame problems Windows servers bring to the picture.
Of course it depends on how locked-in you are to Windows-specific
server features. Samba doesn't tend to keep up with the very recent
changes to Windows networking, but then again that doesn't tend to
matter because Microsoft has to stay compatible with their older
versions, too.
But if you stick with Windows server, you should probably suck it up
and get an AV enterprise setup that handles aggregating the scanning
of all computers on the network centrally.
