Question/Issue:
This document describes the compatibility of Symantec AntiVirus email plug-ins with Microsoft Windows Server operating systems.


Solution:
The Symantec AntiVirus client installation is supported on a Windows Server only when the Internet Email Tools or email plug-ins are not installed. If you install Symantec AntiVirus client with Internet Email Tools or email plug-ins on a Windows server, high memory usage or other unpredictable behavior may occur.

Technical Information:
The email plug-ins do not install on Windows servers during an client installation of Symantec AntiVirus 10.0.2 or later. You do not need to perform a custom installation to exclude the email plug-ins when you install Symantec AntiVirus 10.0.2 or later client onto a Windows server.
