Folks:

Is installing Forefront Client (Antivirus) on SQL Server 2005 database servers a GOOD or BAD Practice? Also, what impact will we have if we install Forefront Client (Antivirus) on our database servers? Will it have performance impact and if so how much?

Environment:

Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005 SP2
No Clustering

Thanks !

Make sure it skips any of your database files types(mdf,ndf,ldf).
