Forefront on WTS2008?

[Ole Thomsen]

I'm looking for a replacement for the current AV product on a WTS2008 farm,
due to AV eating all server resources after a few hours runtime.

Which Forefront product is for WTS?

Is it stable?

I guess you're looking for a "client" Antivirus/Malware protection.
So Forefront Client Security (FCS) is the only option within the Microsoft
Forefront brand.
http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/clientsecurity/en/us/default.aspx

It is good for Terminal Services, too:
"Servers running Terminal Services are supported as client computers."

I've been using it in our company since about July 2007 without any issue.

Dieter

Exactly, thanks. I'll check it out.

Is there som kind of "thin" install for testing, or does it have to be the
full SQL/Reporting Services/WUS setup?

The only thing I found when searching "forefront terminal services" was this

and it got me kind of worried :-)
