Description
Anti-virus software is intended to give protection against deadly viruses which can harm the data. But in cases like Exchange Server database, this statement appears ironical as the file-level antivirus programs can create real problems for database and may corrupt it. However, you can install it on Exchange computer, but using it against the database file may corrupt the database.
File-level scanners can corrupt the information store which includes the transaction logs, the EDB file and the STM file. Actually, in any of the operation mode, the negativity arises when the scanning procedure locks the file when Exchange server attempts to access it. At this point of time, harsh situations like data corruption, program failure, and the harshest- information-store corruption have been seen.
Therefore this is the topmost recommendation that whenever you use antivirus scanning for your Exchange computer, always remember to exclude EDB files, log files, CHK files and STM files i.e. all the hierarchy of the folders which are a part of Information Store for scanning.
The more critical problem can be seen when the transaction logs are residing in your antivirus quarantine and you attempt to apply Exchange Server recovery and thus the process fails.
Exchange Server recovery software is designed to fulfill all the user needs, be it the interactive interface or the suitability to EDB recovery for all objects. All you need to do is to just select the correct utility.
