One of the recent questions mentioned excluding one of the folders in
system32. It made me think - is there a conlusive list of folders that should
be excluded on a SBS 2003 server?

A far less important question - I ahve seen quite a significant performance
change depending on the Antivirus settings for the roaming profile folders
(on the server) i.e. whether they are excluded from the read OnAccess
scanning. Does anyone ahve any recommendations in this area about what best
practices should be?

Thanks,
Henry
