Antivirus exclusion list for servers

Based on all of the resources linked on Microsoft Technet article, this is a complete list of AV exceptions that should be in place on servers running AD, DHCP, Hyper-V, SQL and Exchange. There are more exceptions listed in the article but these were the ones that applied to my server configurations at the time.
