Exchange Server2003 and Symantec Antivirus
I am running an exchange server 2003 (server03) on my other server (server04) I have symatec v10...... installed and configured the server as a parent server for updating virus defs and then pushing them out to their respective clients.
I have an ms article that talks about excluding certain items from being scanned to avoid possible problems. I hope this is not a dumb question since I am new to all this but how do I exclude the items in the article if I am on two seperate servers. I can see where you can enter exclusions on my parent server, but it asks for a path.
So as an example on my exchange server one of the files is in c:\program files\exchsrvr. How do I exclude on the other server? Am I missing something

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
ASKER
so for the file type do I just type BKF or .BKF and I'm assuming that I do not need to provide a path?
ASKER
also I'm not sure what you mean by root server and where to put the exclusions
BKF is enough!
Have u a Symantec Anti Virus Server which downloads the patterns ans so on?
Do u restrict or co´nfigure the symantec clients on the clients and the servers on your Symantec Anti Virus Server.
If no...forget this with the Symantec Anti Virus Server
If yes...u should configure the settings for the clients on the Symantec Anti Virus Server

Yes I have a server that downloads the patterns. Ithink I have everythig set correctly. One more question (I will increase the points as well). On the client side how do I lock out my users from being able to changes those settings on their pc (or is there no way).
Example - Righ now I can go to a pc and double click on the icon in the sys tray and select configure and in the file system auto protect I can uncheck items. I don't want the users to be able to modify critical settings in anyway.

on almost each settings which u can define on your anti virus server there's a little closed symbol, which when u activate it blocks the user to change somthing
else they will be overwritten!
