List of exclusions needed for Microsoft SQL Server
For compatibility with Microsoft SQL Server, you must exclude the locations that Microsoft recommends for File Level scanners in the on-access scanner for ENS/VSE. For the most accurate list of file exclusions, see the Microsoft antivirus exclusion list article. In the article, go to the "SQL" section, and click the article link for the version of Microsoft SQL Server 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:

• For ENS, see the "Preventing Threat Prevention from blocking trusted programs, networks, and services" section of the Endpoint Security 10.7 Product Guide.
