SEP 12.1 Release Update 1 (RU1) Maintenance Patch 1 (MP1) added a new exclusion category: DNS or Host File Change Exception. This exclusion will prevent SONAR from taking any action on applications that have been excluded from these detections.
Follow the steps below for creating an DNS or Host File Change Exception in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 12.1 RU1 MP1 and above.
Make sure you assign the policy to the correct groups.
