System Variables?

Yabusame

I'd like to use System Variables for AV exclusions.  Can you tell me if this is possible (doesn't seem to be when I've played with it) and if it is possible, what is allowed?

If you can point me to an appropriate KB article that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Christian,

    The exclusions are recommended by Novell for endpoints running ZENworks agents (see Novell knowledgebase article: 7007545).

    The one example that I shared with you earlier:

    • %ZENWORKS_HOME%\bin\analyze.exe

    Actually results in several exclusions (for our possible endpoint configurations):

    • C:\Program Files\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • D:\Program Files\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • D:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe

    Then there's the short file names that have to be added too:

    • C:\Progra~1\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • C:\Progra~2\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • D:\Progra~1\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe
    • D:\Progra~2\Novell\zenworks\bin\analyze.exe

    So you see, for the want of one system variable, I have to add eight exclusions.  When you have several exclusions to add, that makes it difficult to manage.

    Please, let me have system variables in a future version :smileysad:
