Hi all,

I would like to document what happened to me when i attempted to install KAV on my BB servers.
I run exchange 2003, Windows 2008 environment, with BES Express 5.0.2 (bundle 14) with the latest updates. on it.

I removed my current antivirus, and installed the KAV Admin kit on my server running BES Express...and disaster struck.
Somehow, the KAV needed to share resources (IRQs and SQL) and as a result my BB got messed up. I was unable to connect to the Web admin service, nor was I able to do pretty much anything admin side.

after trying to repair the installation, without much success (seems like half the registry entries were gone), i eventually gave up and did a clean re-install.

A fair warning for anyone who tries to do this at home...

it will happen with Symantec SEPM also

have to be careful as BES uses SQL and webservices, hard to share too many resources on one server.
