To ensure compatibility with System Center Operations Manager, exclude the locations recommended by Microsoft in the On-Access Scanner for ENS and VSE. For the most accurate list of exclusions, see the following Microsoft Technet article: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/953.microsoft-anti-virus-exclusion-list.aspx. Within the Technet article, go to the "SCOM" section and click the article links for the version of System Center Operations Manager in use in your environment.

How to configure exclusions in ENS/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:
