Thanks-

Is cost an issue?

There's f-secure AV for servers.

Cheers,

Why can't we run regular AV on server OS's? I have a promotional NFR copy of Windows Server 2003 that I might use in the future.

Because anything Symantec other than Norton Corporate Edition will not install on a server OS. Not certain about other brands.

Probably a business choice too. Symantec, and most companies realize that business/companies pay over $1000 for an OS, they won't have a real problem dropping serious money on good security and anti-virus software. Also as the codebase of servers is slightly different (AFAIK) this limits the ability of "standard" tools to work.
