Anti-Virus on SQL Configuration

Hi:
We have Symantec Enterprise Anti-Virus 10.0 but it is not currently
installed on our new SQL box. I would like to know what files and folders t
o
exclude from scanning before I install. I have search Symantec knowledgebas
e
but no answers. Does MS have a page on this like they do for Exchange or is
it pretty much the same as Exchange?
Thanks,http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309422

Symantec has nothing but the other article you pointed me to helps.

Antivirus on a 2003 Cluster

Hi all
I am trying to work out if it is ok to install an antivirus product onto my
Windows 2003 SQL Cluster.
According to Symantec I can:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT... er=savce_9.0
but Microsoft don't seem too keen on the idea:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q250355
Has anyone managed to install antivirus onto a cluster with no problems or
is it best just to leave my servers as they are?
Thanks
Kristi
You can install, just exclude the MSCS directory and where you put your SQL
Data.
Cheers,

directories
