Are there any caveats when installing Virus Scan 7.1 on a Unity 4.04 server? About to perform an install of McAfee 7.1 and wanted to know if there are any directories or files that should be excluded from the regular virus scans. Recall a document that pertained to Unity 3.x and certain Exchange directories, Unity install directory (Commserver maybe) that should be excluded. Can't seem to find anything definitive. Not sure the same still applies in Unity 4.x. Also, this is an existing Unity Failover configuration.

This still applies for Unity 4.x
As for Exchange, please refer to McAfee for the definitive answer. This is what I found on their site:

Thanks, that helps (the Commserver directory). I followed the Microsoft recommended exclusions for Exchange and put this on our message store servers which are running exchange
