avast! NetServer 4.8.1061 is compatible with MS Windows Server 2008 x64 R2.

We have some customers working with this configuration.

In two customers, AMS Server is a MS Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 and they are using avast! NetServer 4.8.1061 to protect the servers. In both cases the AMS server is managing more that 1500 NetClients and NetServers.

Check the Microsoft documentation about installing antivirus software on servers. There are certain areas (software dependant ie SQL Server etc) that should be omitted from scanning amongst other recommendations.
