Re: Require Anti Virus Software for Windows Server 2008?

From: "Gum" <gum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Is it possible to use Windows Server 2008 within a domain in which all
| clients (each with antivirus software) are connected to the internet without
| the use of an antivirus software? Are there installation types that easily
| restrict the surface area exposed to a minimum, but can be as readily
| adjusted to enable selected processes to run?

No, that is *NOT* a good idea. The server and workstations should ALL have anti virus
software installed.
Possibly one anti virus vendor's solution on the server and another's on the workstations.
