If you install SEP on a machine that is running Exchange, SEP will automatically add the necessary exclusions.

Check this:

Note: If Exchange is installed after SEP was installed, the exclusions will not be added automatically. You can either reinstall SEP or add manually.

SEP excludes the related directories check the  link, if anything is missing you manually need to add it.

Hello,

The Automatic Exchange Exclusions created by the SEP client are properly created as per Microsoft's public recommendations. SEP will detect the mailbox role and set the required base exclusions for Exchange 2003/2007/2010. Exclusions for additional roles and clustering should be added manually as needed.

For information on Microsoft's recommendations for Microsoft Exchange exclusions, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332342.aspx.

Hope that helps!!

So can anyone address the question I actually asked in the original post?

I already stated it was not an install that was in the default location which pretty much negates every link provided.

If you look at the current Microsoft documentation for Exchange exclusion, they are much more than just the basic folder and file extension exclusion.  There are 44 processes that also need to be excluded.

With that in mind, is there an easier way than what I asked for in the original post, or is that truly the only way to meet those requirements?

You need to manually add those
