SQL Server

Hi All - are there any problems running Nod on my SQL server?
Will it affect the servers database performance at all?

Thanks

 

I run NOD32 at multiple networks on W2k and W2k3 servers, some of them with SQL.
I did not experience troubles.

But a few important things:
- don't use IMON
- exclude SQL database folders in AMON.

Why don't you want IMON enable? On our SQL Server, I have excluded mdf and ldf files. Also, if you run exchange, should you also disable IMON?

Is there a link to NOD32 setup for servers such as Domain Controller, SQL and Exchange?

Thanks,

You don't want IMON running on server operating systems...matter of fact, during the install, NOD32 will detect that it's installing on a server operating system....and automatically disable IMON during the install process.

 

Why don't you want IMON running on servers for? I am just really curious.

You don't (want to) run IMON on a server based machine

Running IMON may disrupt network traffic because it is designed for workstations, and may not be able to manage all (heavy) network traffic that you expect to run on a server.

So, take this advice and don't use it!

So I might as well turn off DMON and EMON on my servers then, right?

I always do, they don't hurt it...they hardly take up resources..but I quit/unload them anyways.

Server 2000 and up contain IIS...and I believe you don't want IMON running on a box that has IIS.

 

indeed you do not!
