This issue has been solved. See solution.

Dear Team,

As I know We able to create policy of centralize exceptions for Autoprotect scan, but how can we exclude files or folder in schedule scan?

In SAV we have option to exclude files and folder in Schedule Scan but I never found the same in SEPM,

I think I dont know how I configure this or Centralize Exception policy will take care of all scan ( Real Time, Schedule or On Demand Scan).

Please let me know.

Hi

Dont have any document saying that, however you can check the help file on page number 10. Check the ones in bold.

 

About Centralized Exceptions Policies

Centralized Exceptions Policies contain exceptions for the following types of scans:

  • Antivirus and antispyware scans

  • TruScan proactive threat scans

  • Tamper Protection scans

Note:

Antivirus and antispyware scans include all Auto-Protect scans, scheduled scans, on-demand scans, or user-defined scans.

Typically, exceptions are risks or processes that you want the client software to exclude from scans. If you use exceptions on client computers, you might reduce the scan time. If you reduce the scan time, you increase system performance on the client computers.

For TruScan proactive threat scans, you might also want the client software to detect a specific process that it does not detect by default. You can create an exception to force the detection. When the detection appears in the detected processes list, you can create another exception to specify an action for the detection.

Note:

For antivirus and antispyware scans or Tamper Protection, you use centralized exceptions to specify particular items to exclude from scans. For proactive threat scans, however, you use centralized exceptions to specify actions for detected processes or to force a detection.

When you create a Centralized Exceptions Policy, the exceptions apply to all scans of that type on the client computer that uses the policy. You can include all of the exceptions in the same policy.
