anti virus for Server 2012 r2
Hi, I'm looking for an antivirus solution for one Windows Server 2012 R2. I normally don't care about that because I don't do browsing from the server, but I have a client that is insisting on it. I'm hoping for something light that isn't too draconian.
Also side note, am I on crack for not AVing my servers? I have never had an issue.
thanks all.

Hi,
i have always used AV on servers, specially in modern days when entire network is connected, and when ransomware and such threats will jump from workstation to server, if not configured/ protected correct .
I am using ESET File Security for MS windows server, but i guess all major players have good AV for server as well. This one is light when comparing resource utilization of others. I guess if you are using business solution on all clients then simple buy server AV of same vendor, so that you can monitor using one console.

Ivan.

I also will never have a server without AV as viruses can spread within a network. So even if you don't browse on your server it is still venerable.

You can use Microsoft's System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. It contains the EndPoint client virus protection that supports Windows 2012 R2. If you've got a MSDN membership it is the way to go.
Also look at reducing use of privileged user accounts, minimising access to shares to only those people that need it, and carrying out regular backups. To servers, these are essential so taking a layered approach to security is probably your next best bet.
