Running Antivirus Software on Exchange Servers

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007

To prevent data corruption of replicas and shadow copies, configure the antivirus software to delete infected files rather than automatically cleaning or quarantining them. Automatic cleaning and quarantining can result in data corruption because these processes cause the antivirus software to modify files, making changes that Data Protection Manager (DPM) cannot detect. For instructions on configuring your antivirus software to delete infected files, see the documentation for your antivirus software.
