Microvellum and AutoCAD
To minimize performance issues and crashes associated with antivirus software, we advise the following steps.
Exclude these Microvellum folders:
C:\Program Files\Microvellum
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microvellum
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microvellum
C:\file\path\to\microvellum\data
(e.g., C:\Microvellum\Common Microvellum Data\Imperial\049_0)
If running a standard version AutoCad, exclude these files in addition to the previous files excluded.
C:\Program Files\Autodesk
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Autodesk
Exclude these application files (location will vary depending on where it's installed):
Toolbox BSB: bricscad_bsb.exe
(e.g., C:\Program Files\Microvellum\Toolbox V25 en_US\bricscad_bsb.exe)
Toolbox OEM: Toolbox.exe
(e.g., C:\Program Files\Microvellum\Toolbox OEM 2017\Toolbox.exe)
ERP: Micromanager.exe
(e.g., C:\Program Files\Microvellum\Micromanager\Micromanager.exe)
Toolbox with Standard AutoCad: acad.exe
(e.g., C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\acad.exe)
Here are file type exclusions that will help as well:
*.Fas, *.lsp, *.3ds, *.wmf, *.sdf, *.ac$, *.apj, *.bak, *.ctb, *.cui, *.cuix, *.dcl, *.dst, *.dwf, *.dwg, *.dwl, *.dwl2, *.dwt, *.fbx, *.ipt, *.lin, *.ma, *.mat, *.max, *.mb, *.mns, *.mnu, *.pat, *.pgp, *.rfa, *.rft, *.rte, *.rvt, *.shp, *.shx, *.stb, *.sv$
If you have centralized antivirus management, you should be able to push these to other machines. If not, most antivirus programs will allow you to export and import exception lists.
SQL Server
To minimize the performance issues and crashes often associated with antivirus it would be advisable to do the following for your SQL server:
These Microvellum recommendations mirror those from Microsoft.
Windows Firewall
What traffic should you allow through the firewall?
The default ports and protocols used by SQL Server services are:
Port
|
Protocol
|
Description
|
80
|
TCP
|
Default TCP Port used by Reporting Services
|
1433
|
TCP
|
Default TCP Port used by Database Engine
|
1434
|
UDP
|
Default UDP Port used by SQL Server Browser Service
|
1434
|
TCP
|
Default TCP Port used by Dedicated Admin Connection (DAC)
|
2382
|
TCP
|
When running Analysis Services named instance or running AS in SharePoint mode.
|
2383
|
TCP
|
Analysis Services default TCP port for clustered or standalone instances.
|
If you're running multiple instances of SQL Server and using different TCP ports for each, you also need to add them to the list above. When using the Windows Firewall, it's also highly recommended not to use Dynamic Port allocations but to define a static port for each instance.
