  • 1.  Centralized Exceptions Policy Not Rolling out

    I have created a group for the Web Servers.  I created a policy for Cetralized Exceptions to keep some files from being scanned.  I assigned the policy to the Web Servers Group.  I deploy the SEP to the Test Web Server.  I make sure that the Server is in the Web Servers group.  After all of this I go to the Web Server and check the Centralized Exceptions in the Client Settings and I excepted to see the Files listed in the Policy to be listed here, but the page it blank.  Should I see the Files that are configured in the Policy listed here?

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You cannot view the Centralised exceptions from the clients if it is set from the SEPM.

     

    User Defined Exceptions are the exceptions you create from the client locally.

    if you want to check it from the client you will have to check it in the registry

     

    To see the exclusions that the client creates on 32-bit computers, you can examine the contents of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions

    On 64-bit computers, look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions
