Anyone know what files must be excluded from scans for a Windows 2003 server (Domain Controller)? I can't seem to find any information or links.

Thanks
 
Kevin:

Can't find the documentation I based this on (probably vanished several years ago), but here's what I've excluded, based on Microsoft recommendations:

D:\NTDS\DB Logs\EDB*.log
D:\NTDS\DB Logs\Res1.log
D:\NTDS\DB Logs\Res2.log
D:\NTDS\DB Logs\NTDS.pat
D:\NTDS\Database\*.*
D:\NTDS\Ntds.dit
D:\NTDS\Ntds.pat
D:\NTDS\EDB*.log
D:\NTDS\Res1.log
D:\NTDS\Res2.log
D:\NTDS\ntfrs\jet\sys\edb.chk
D:\NTDS\ntfrs\jet\ntfrs.jdb
D:\NTDS\ntfrs\jet\log\*.log
