Environment Variables?

Hi All,

This feels like a dumb question.

Can you use windows environment variables such as %windir% or not? I see that "%" is not listed as a wildcard character of any description so:

As a file exclusion:

Is it just treated as another character? Does this mean that %windir% gets literally translated as %windir% rather than C:\Windows.

Sophos recommends looking at your OS supplier documentation (in this case it's MS) for AV exclusions. Looking at MS document there's quite a lot to look at. See here: https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/822158?wa=wsignin1.0 and also http://www.networkdefend.com/avexclusions.txt

  • Hi,
    I' be been looking at the new Server beta in Sophos Cloud and that permits variables in exclusions. Based on the version of the Server client it looks like something that might be coming to the on premise version of sav at some point. Regards, Jak
