Endpoint Protection

Endpoint automatically creates a exclusion group for exchange server if it identifies Exchange is installed

In looking at documentation on the site it does not give detail as far as what is in the exclusions

Is there a detailed symantec document that has all the exclusions that are applied if it recognizes Exchange 2010 is installed?

Also Is there a document that has the files that Symantec will exclude by default as far as OS , namely if pagefile.sys is excluded.?

Hello,

The Symantec Endpoint Protection client software creates file and folder scan exclusions for the following Microsoft Exchange server versions:

• Exchange 5.5
• Exchange 2000
• Exchange 2003
• Exchange 2007
• Exchange 2010

Hope that helps!!

Mithun,

I have all of that info

I am looking to see if there is a more detailed document to show exactly what is excluded

Is it in line with the technet article?

Hello,

Check this Article:

How to Verify if an Endpoint Client has Automatically Excluded an Application or Directory

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH105814

Note: To see the exclusions that the client creates, you can examine the contents of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions registry. You must not edit this registry directly. You can configure any additional exclusions by using centralized exceptions.

On a 64 bit server using Exchange 2007 or 2010, the path in the registry to confirm auto exclusions is slightly different. The path includes the WOW6432node key.
HKLM\Software\WOW6432node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions\.

The client does not exclude the system temporary folders from scans because doing so can create a significant security vulnerability on a computer.

Hope that helps!!

Hello,

There is no detailed Article by Symantec.

However, you can check personally under registry as mithun suggested.

I have looked at that as well

Once in the registry there is a additional key created for Exchange server what has several folders created as exclusions, what I am trying to find is exactly what Symantec is excluding Processes, file extensions, etc, so that I can see what is excluded and what I need to create in the centralized exception policy.

I agree

No detailed article.

We have Installed SEP on the Exchange server and we are not facing any challenge.

In a clustered environment, you must make additional exclusions manually.

I would suggest you to install a dedicated mail security product, such as Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange.
