This is not
being helpful. It is a serious
question. Any viruses that
actually get through Trend on the firewall will most likely get cleaned by NAV
on the desktop. This seems to make
AV on the server itself not necessary. Matt -----Original

ridiculous. -----Original
Message----- Our environment
has Trend running on the firewall for anti-virus and content filtering.
We have NAV running on the desktops. We are currently evaluating Antigen
and SAVF (Symantec) to put on our E2K Exchange servers (including an E2K
cluster on a Compaq SAN). However, our Microsoft resident is suggesting
to us that AV on the servers themselves is not necessary and will only
introduce problems and instability (particularly Symantec's product). He
said that when a virus outbreak occurs that actually gets inside, a quick
ExMerge on the server is just as effective as pushing out virus defs using the
AV product. With AV
software on the firewall and on the desktops, what do people think about not
putting AV on the Exchange servers themselves? -- List Charter
