Excluding particular files in subfolders

tf12

Hi - I'd like to exlude the files below (from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158) from scanning - is this possible from just the %systemroot%\sysvol\domain folder and below?

  • Turn off scanning of files in the Sysvol\Sysvol folder.

    The current location of the Sysvol\Sysvol folder and all its subfolders is the file system reparse target of the replica set root. The Sysvol\Sysvol folder uses the following location:
    %systemroot%\Sysvol\Domain
    Exclude the following files from this folder and all its subfolders:
    • *.adm
    • *.admx
    • *.adml
    • Registry.pol
    • *.aas
    • *.inf
    • Scripts.ini
    • *.ins
    • Oscfilter.ini

    Hello tf12,

    you can exclude certain (wildcard) file names either globally or with a complete path, or all files in certain folders. Thus if you think you need(see below) these exclusions you'd likely exclude all of SYSVOL.

    While the title of Microsoft's article starts with Virus scanning recommendations the INTRODUCTION is not as definite (emphasis and ellipses mine): This article contains recommendations that may help an administrator determine the cause of potential instability on a computer [...]   Before you make these changes, we recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing this workaround in your particular environment. If you implement this workaround, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect the computer. As I understand this it's not sine qua non.
