Hi,
Our Security team is looking to get list of exclusions which SNOW requires for MS Defender. In toher words : what parts of the application, if any, requires a Defender exclusion to prevent performance issues or other application issues.
I've not seen any interference from MS Defender that impacts performance.
However if you noticed the slow processing of your incoming Inventory Snowpack files then this would be the directory I'd exclude if Task Manager was showing Defender processes with CPU utilisation as being always high:
\\Program Files\Snow Software\Snow Inventory\Server\
You could also look at the Web folder for the SLM installation but as this contains lots of the website code I'd be very reluctant to exclude that from any virus scanning for security reasons.
I concur with Joseph - I have never had to add exclusions for MS Defender for either agents or server components.
