Microsoft Anti-Virus Exclusion List

One place on the web where you can find an updated list of ALL the AV exclusions you might want to configure for Windows Server. Feel free to add to the list, it is the wiki way!

Windows Update:

WSUS (Windows Server Update Services):

SBS:

 MED-V

System Center:

Data Protection Manager:

App-V

Lync 2010
Dynamics AX

        For versions up to AX 2009 exclude:
  1. All the AOD, AOI, ADD, ADI, KHD & KHI files, or
  2. alternatively, the whole application folder

       See for instance:        http://blogs.msdn.com/b/czdaxsup/archive/2010/05/13/ax-application-files-locked-by-another-process.aspx

Note: Doing this helps make sure that the files are not locked when the AOS must use them. However, if these files become infected, your antivirus software will not be able to detect the infection.
   
BizTalk Server
See recommendations in BizTalk performance optimization guides:

Mentioned executables used by BizTalk includes EntSSO.exe, MSDTC.exe, BTSNTSvc.exe, BTSNTSvc64.exe, SQLServr.exe, but also others as IIS, Customer WCF services, MSMQ, Rule Engine, SQL Agent, SSIS, SSNS and other applications used in integration scenarios.
