    Maybe a stupid question --

    I occasionaly get requests to set up exceptions in SEP according to Microsoft bulletins and/or vendor recommendations for their products.  We're only running SEP on servers and TruScan is disabled on servers OS's.  I see no other place to setup process exceptions.  Am I missing something?

    Thanks.

    ... Forgot to mention that they usually contain a number of folders, files, extensions, and processes.  Folders, files, and exensions are not a problem.

    Maybe I didn't word my question well.   This question is specifically -- if TruScan is disabled on server OS's, then is it possible to create a process exception?  The only place I see process exceptions available is under TruScan. So if an application vendor recommends setting your antivirus to exclude their process "xyz.exe" from scanning on servers, how would I do that if TruScan is disabled anyway?  Is it a moot point then?

    Not needed; they are not monitored anyways :)
