Exclude Folder for all users on all PCs

DanAvery

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to exclude a folder in the user's documents in each profile using Sophos Control Centre v4.

I would need any of the following folders excluded depending on the OS/folder location

C:\Users\username\documents\ABC documents\server

C:\Documents and Settings\username\documents\ABC documents\server

\\server\redirectedfolders\username\documents\ABC documents\server

Can I use a wildcard or system variable %username% to acheive this? Or can I use the partial path ABC Documents\server\*.* as per this document http://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/nonindexed/sesc_95_heng.pdf (page 11)?

Thanks

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for your  reply.

    Basically, I have a put of third party software that links with Excel - occasionally when you save the file in Excel, the third party software says the file is in use so I'm ruling this out by turning off on-access scanning to the folder within my documents.

    I only have 14 users on this system so I guess I could create a policy for the 3 folder exclusions per user, just wondered if there was a quicker and simpler way.
