I have not seen one big list with everything, your best bet is to search on either the manufactures site or technet for specific microsoft roles,<br />

I am installing several Windows 2008 server virtual machines on Windows Hyper-V. I am using Sophos Enterprise Console and would like to know what the best practice recommendations are for file/folder exclusions when doing daily scans of Windows 2008 servers. I found a list for Exchange specific exclusions but not for servers running other various roles such as AD, Web Servers, Print Servers, etc.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have a proven list of exclusions for these types of servers?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
