I would think putting Exchange aware a/v on all Exchange servers (regardless) would be a good idea. This should provide protection from internally-spawned viruses (say from a user who might have outlook connected to a POP3 server & Exchange at the same time, or perhaps a user who gets a virus from a download etc)
About 2 years ago we only had SMTP gateway level A/V. I've managed to block out the name of the particular virus; but we had a user who connected his outlook profile to our exchange server and his own pop 3 account at the same time. Picked up the virus of the moment, and it spread like wildfire. Now we have an Exchange-aware A/V that acutally scans the store, and uses the anti-virus api to scan messages as they are sent. We have not had a single outbreak since. HTH Arron ======================================= Arron S.

If you have two exchange servers do you need to have Exchange Antivirus on both or just the server with the Internet Mail Connector on it? Having a Exchange server in a forest root and an exchange server in a child domain, the exchange server in the child domain requires what kind of admin access? Does the server need to utilize the admin account from the child domain or the forest root? Justin A.
