As I'm not in the corporate world at the moment, I can only speak to what I saw back when I was, and it was AV on every server, no exceptions. That company was working exclusively with Symantec's products. As I had been there for more than 20 years, my own server and my Vista machine with SQL Server on it, along with at least 2 other XP client machines, are all running Symantec EndPoint Protection, and wow, what a difference in resource usage. Back with SAV 10.1, the client SAV would take as much as 75 MEG, ALL the time, and since it wasn't looking at spyware, I had to add WebRoot SpySweeper, for another 25 meg. Now with EPP, my Vista machine uses well less than 20 meg, and my wife's XP machine is SO much faster, she can't believe it. FYI...
