  • 1.  SEPM Centeralized exceptions not showing on endpoints

    Posted Feb 26, 2015 05:50 AM

    Hello all SEPM and SEP version is 12.1.4 .  the users cannot see Administrator defined exception from SEP GUI and this was for security reason and mainly so that the users cannot see what exceptions has been made.

    Centeralized exceptions configured on SEPM for instance to ignore a specific folder during scan is not being seen on SEP endpoints ? why is it so ? 

    users can add their own exceptions , but the exceptions that are being configured by the Administrator on SEPM are not being seen on the endpoints.

    Is it by design or I am missing something ?

    Regards

    End users can't see admin exceptions. you need to check the registry

    1. Start > Run > Regedit
       
    2. Browse to the registry key:
      • 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
         
    3. Expand the key to view the various applications listed there.
      • The 'File Exceptions' folder is where you can inspect the full list of exclusions associated with that product.


    This key is where both automatic and policy added exclusions are stored on the client. Inspecting this key reveals all exclusions applied to the client. If you do not see the exclusion you are trying to add listed in the registry, then it is not being added automatically. You must manually add it to a Centralized Exceptions policy.
