Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console Question

t3ch_guru

I am putting a policy in place for our terminal servers and I need to be able to exclude directories. I am able to find the area where you can exclude extensions. When you select custom scans you are able to tel it to scan particular folders. Ex. The Windows System folder.

But, can you tell it to exclude an extract direct like... %systemroot%\system32\spool.

My brain is fried right now, I was on the phone with Symantec for regarding backupexec. So I'm not thinking straight right now.

Version:11.0.4

Thanks in advance.

Sure...under Policies -> Centralized Exceptions -> Create or Edit a Centralized Exceptions Policy -> Centralized Exceptions -> Add...-> Folder -> Prefix Variable drop-down includes several predefined variables including [SYSTEM] which expands to C:\Windows\System32
