Endpoint Protection

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there exists a Symantec recommended list of file/folder exclusions for Windows Servers?  I ask this because I have a document, see the link below, from Microsoft that suggests a whole wack of exclusions and I wondered if Symantec has a similar "best practise" type document.  Any thoughts?  Input? 

Thanks!

We have a Best Practice guide for Servers that might help address your needs.

Best Practices for Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) on Windows Servers

The client software automatically detects the presence of certain third-party applications and Symantec products. After it detects them, it creates exclusions for these files and folders. The client excludes these files and folders from all antivirus and antispyware scans.

The client software automatically creates exclusions for the following items:

■ Microsoft Exchange

■ Active Directory domain controller

■ Certain Symantec products

Note: To see the exclusions that the client creates on 32-bit computers, you can

examine the contents of the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint

Protection\AV\Exclusions registry. You must not edit this registry directly. On

64-bit computers, look in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Symantec\SymantecEndpoint Protection\AV\Exclusion

Thanks very much, this looks good too.
