RE: Anti-Virus on web facing servers??

["Rocky Heckman" <rocky.he () g-wizinnovations com>]

As a side note, you might want to get SQL off those front-line servers. If
someone compromises the web server, you don't want them to have instant
access to the SQL server as well. By moving it off the facing servers,
you've at least not handed SQL server to them on a platter.

I manage a network of 100+ Win servers, all servers have AV running. I
see this as a standard part of my configuriation. Not an option.
