Endpoint Security (ENS) Threat Prevention 10.x

Microsoft Windows Server — all supported versions

Summary

We recommend that you exclude the following locations in the Default Processes for the on-access scanner. This action makes sure that the DHCP and WINS databases function correctly.

For DHCP servers:

Exclude the DHCP directory under \WINDOWS\System32\

For WINS servers:
Exclude the Wins directory under \WINDOWS\System32\

How to configure exclusions in ENS:
When you configure exclusions, always apply the principle that the more precise the exclusion, the smaller the potential security risk. For instructions to configure exclusions, see the "Preventing Threat Prevention from blocking trusted programs, networks, and services" section of the Endpoint Security 10.7 Product Guide.
