To exclude SAN and NAS devices and servers that use mount points from scanning with VSE, create an on-access scanner process exclusion for the volume names.

IMPORTANT: These exclusions do not work with Endpoint Security. Endpoint Security does not support physical path exclusions yet.


Use the following syntax for exclusions:

 

\Device\HarddiskVolumeN\ (where N represents the volume number)

Examples:
How to configure exclusions in VSE:
When you configure exclusions, always apply the principle that the more precise the exclusion, the smaller the potential security risk. For instructions to configure exclusions, see the following documentation:
