How to create SEP scan exclusion for a group of server
Created: 06 Mar 2013 | 7 comments
Hi,
I got some of the following servers that I'd like to add some recommended directory exclusion from SEP monthly Full scan policy:
Active Directory
Exchange Server
SQL Server
Enterprise Vault server
File servers
Other clustered server
can anyone please provide me with the KB article in how to set that and which directory should I put the exclusions for those servers above ?

See this KB article which shows each product that SEP automatically sets exclusions for:
About the files and folders that Symantec Endpoint Protection excludes from virus and spyware scans
Not all the servers you mentioned above may be in here so there will be some manual work. You may need to check the vendors website for recommended AV exclusions.
This MS KB Article is very helpful as well:
Virus scanning recommendations for Enterprise computers that are running currently supported versions of Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158
Also, a good Symantec KB reference:
Excluding a file or a folder from scans
SEP Knowledge Base
Endpoint SWAT
Look this
About the files and folders that Symantec Endpoint Protection excludes from virus and spyware scans

many thanks guys for the advice and suggestion.
I assume that once I have created the group in SEPM, then drag the server into the group, then the policy should take effect in the next polling update to the SEPM.
Kind regards,
