Temporary deactivation of Symantec Endpoint Protection / Microsoft Exchange
We are running Windows Server 2008 with Small Business Server. An upgrade of a branch-specific application recommends disabling anti-virus scanners during the application process (probably due to the risk of anti-virus interfering with the upgrade process). We are using Symantec Endpoint Protection, which has the following services running:
Which of these services would need to be stopped? In which order? Does the stopping of any of these services automatically stop any of the other ones?
We may also need to stop Microsoft Exchange. Same questions as above, regarding the following services:
After the upgrade these services would need to be restored to their normal functionality.
Also up for consideration: disconnect outside internet access while Symantec is deactivated, to reduce the risk of virus infection.
Any suggestions as to how to stop and subsequently restore Symantec and MS Exchange would be appreciated.
