    when exceptions are made they will be entered in the registry, if you are on 64 bit machine make sureyou check the right path folder.check this document

    Hi, 

    Agree with Rafeeq, you can see it via registry or also run the symhelp and find out what are the exceptions.

    Regards

    Assuming you have the correct permissions to view the registry, you will see them.

    Has the policy change taken affect on the client? Once the policy updates with the new exceptions, you will see them in the registry as described above.

    It will always be in registry.... on what machine you are checking ? are you checking user defined exceptions are exceptions defined by Admins from SEPM?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    I would be glad to answer your question.

    Are you talking about specific exception which you are not able to see in registry?

    OR

    None of the exception you are not able to see in the registry?

    I think you won't see tamper protection exceptions in the registry.

    Hello,

    In case you are running SEP 11.x, you can check the below article:

    How to Verify if an Endpoint Client has Automatically Excluded an Application or Directory

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH105814

    However, In case you are running SEP 12.x, I would suggest you to check this Article:

    Verifying SEP Exceptions for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003 Domain Controllers

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH96048

    and

    Also check these steps as provided below:

    Check the registry :-

    FOR 32Bit :-

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions\ScanningEngines\FileName

    \Admin and \Client

    v.Extensions

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions\ScanningEngines\Extensions\

    \Admin and \Client

    FOR 64Bit :-

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Exclusions

    \FileExceptions and \NoScanDir

    \Admin and \Client

    Secondly, In VDI environment, there are other ways to create exceptions, check this Thread:

    Hope that helps!!
