File Level Exclusions with Environmet Variables

Hi all,

So far my Googling has not found any positive answers to my question of whether or not I can use %Variables% to exclude files and paths. It looks as though this is not possible. Can someone please verify a yes or no? Can I exclude a folder path in this way:

%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

    ..and if so, what is the accept syntax in the exclusion?

If the answer is no, how am I to exclude this path for every individual in the organisation? 

Release 9.105-9 - SEP

    I don't understand why you would need to do this, but, in any case, it's not something that you can do anywhere but on the Windows client.

  • Because outlook files should not be scanned. Scanning them can cause issues such as messages getting stuck in outboxes. So this is not possible? Are you saying you would have to do this a thousand times for your thousand users to be able to run an exchange environment to AV best practice recommendations?
  • You can disable the scanning of Outlook messages and/or attachments on the Advanced choices of a scan.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Im not sure I know what you mean. Is this on the UTM under the AV tab?
  • No, it's in the configuration options on the client in the PC.
