    hello,

    In 32 bit

    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

    Hi Pandher  :)

    I'll give you a cheesy suggestion which always works...

    Step 1: Open your Registry

    Step 2: Click Computer

    Step 3: Hit "Ctrl F"

    Step 4: Type "EXCLUSIONS"

    Step 5: Keep clicking Next till you spot an entry preferably under "Computer\HKLM\Software\Symantec\SEP\........."

    PS: Please make sure that after the policy is updated the policy serial number is updated on the client before you follow this drill.

    Keep us posted on what you find  :) 

    Cheers  :)

    Ok so its a 64 bit os and i see the registry keys are different. I can see the entries there. I wanted to exclude the lotus notes folder scanning and nsf files since it was creating slowness. I do see the entries here as per attached screenshot:

     

    is that ok? can someone please verify?
