Adding numbered files to exceptions
Created: 28 Feb 2013 | Updated: 28 Feb 2013 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I think I know the answer to this but thought I would ask anyway.
Is there anyway to add scanning exceptions of file created for a file that increases in number? As I know we can't use a wildcard on file names.
For example in the windows folder it creates a file ABC00001.ini every day the number increase so tomorrow ABC00002.ini is created and so on. an there is no way to exclude ABC*.ini.

Hello,
This could not be done.
It is not possible to use a wildcard the way you wish.
Exclusions and Wildcards - Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Clients have them and the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) does not.

It does not recognize any of the wildcards you add.

As per documentation use of * wildcards in centralized exceptions will not work:
Exclusions and Wildcards - Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Clients have them and the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) does not.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH169942
Centralized Exceptions Policy - Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager -
* or Wildcards are not recognized in the policy and should not be used.
As I thought :(
Please review ideas and vote there could be something useful :)
