[ExchangeList] Re: virus scan

There are two trains of thought:

 

1), Yes, install AV to protect the server but exclude all Exchange
directories (including store directories)and exclude the mailroot directory
.

 

2) No, not needed since nothing else should be on there anyways and no one
should be logging onto the Exchange server directly except rarely.

 

I'm in the first group.
