I wrote a whitepaper on this. Where the heck did I put that? Oh, wait. Here it is:
__________________________________________________________________ How to Deploy File Level Virus Scanner Software on Exchange Server by William Lefkovics Do not deploy file level scanners on your Exchange Server. Notes: Thank you to Kevin Miller for tech editting duties. __________________________________________________________________ If you are using your Exchange server as a file server where people have access to shares etc and you simply must have file scanning, then just have your scanner exclude everything pertaining to Exchange. It is always best to separate the two.

It is a NT 4 box with SP6, running Exchange 5.5 with SP3. I am currently using Trend Micro's ScanMail to scan the Mailboxes. I also installed Norton Antivirus 2001 to scan at the system level. I have left all the settings at the defauly level. The only thing that I have added is the path to the "exchsrvr" directories and checked the "Include sub-folders", in the Exclusion List. What are the precautions I should take ? Are there any guidelines which I can follow ? There was a thread around a week back on File - Level Scanners, but no information on Installation and maintenance procedures :( TIA, Lester List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
