Centralized Exception Syntax - Example needed.
Created: 18 Jan 2008 | Updated: 22 May 2010 | 3 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
In the Centralized Exception Policy UI, when setting Security Risk by File/Folder or Tamper Protection Exceptions you can use Prefix Variables (environmental variables) to set a path to the target. I'm having a little problem getting the syntax correct on this and I'm not finding any examples in the admin manual or in the KB.
Let's say for example I needed an exception for c:\program files\someprogram\file.exe.
Now for Prefix Variable I would choose [PROGRAM_FILES]. Now what do I put into File (include full path)?
\someprogram\file.exe or
someprogram\file.exe
Don't know if the whack between the variable and the child directory is assumed or not. Or do I need to put the path with [PROGRAM_FILES] (Symantec way) or %programfiles% (windows way)?
This is just a bit confusing without documented examples to work from and would probably be a good candidate for a KB article.
