Endpoint Protection

Hi at all

On one Windows server 2008 R2 (Backup- Server) we have different iSCSI LUNs attached which as well are listed under "Storage Management". These drives do not have any drive letters assigned. How can I exclude these drives that they are NOT scanned by Symantec Endpoint Protection? They are used by the ESX Farm for the VMs. The Server has attached them to run Backups.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ajit Jha

Thanks for your help. But I'm asking for SCAN exceptions... do you know how I can exclude it from the AV scan?

Hi!

Are you sure that this drive is scanned? As i know if it doesn't have a drive letter it is out of range from the view of the scan.

Get the help of below link for centralized exception

After creating the policy you can verify it for using the below link
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH105814

Entry of that extension will display in below registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYMANTEC\SYMANTEC ENDPOINT PROTECTION\AV\EXCLUSIONS
Note: On 64bit window machines the registry path is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions

Hi gsp_sepm

Thanks .... I know the basics about centralized exceptions. The question is about local attached iSCSI LUN without drive letter.... this is not outlined in any standard documentation... have you maybe any Idea where I can found this information

Unfortunately your third link "TECH105814" does not work. DO you know the name of the article, so I can found it over google.... THanks for your help

Hi guwy :-)

Really? This would give us the answer completely...

From what I've seen, if there is no drive letter, than there won't be a scan.
