Actually, I was talking
about the NAV client piece, not NAV for Exchange
server.
And I was on the fence about
it. That's why I posted here
trying to get feedback. There
have been some very good points to use AV filtering on Exchange and I am
going to suggest that to my management that it is worth the money. I do appreciate everyone's
responses.
The next question - Has
anyone been able to compare SAVF and Antigen? Yes, lots of people compare NAVfE
with Antigen and love Sybari's product much
more.
However, SAVF appears to be
a lot better. Has anyone played
with it?

You
are confusing. Then why did you state this "This seems to
make AV on the server itself not necessary."
If you agree with
us?

If the
target is IIS, then NAV running LiveUpdate on the server can handle
that.

What if the
target of the virus is not a desktop? What if the target is IIS? How will a
desktop handle that. You need AV on the servers. It does not degrade
functionality or stability so much as to let that slide.

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.

Do you have anything more to add to back up your

I think it's ridiculous.

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?
