Hi Scott:
Had not heard of the recommend of short file names before. Will check on my
AV, Trend;
Here is my list: Where I looked like wrapping would make this really hard
to read I have tried to insert a break.
Your locations May Vary:
Exchange
Check locations: Yours May Vary
Exchange Server Database = C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata
Exchange MTA files = C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mtadata
Exchange Message tracking log files = C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\server_name.log
Exchange SMTP Mailroot = C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot
Exchange working files = C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Conndata
Site Replication Service (not normally used in SBS but should be
excluded anyway) =
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\srsdata
IIS related Exclusions
IIS System Files = C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv
IIS Compression Folder = C:\WINDOWS\IIS Temporary Compressed Files
Domain Controller related exclusions
Active Directory database files = C:\WINDOWS\NTDS
SYSVOL C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL
Note: Entire SYSVOL folder may be overkill. See KB 815623 Noted end
below.
NTFRS Database Files = C:\WINDOWS\ntfrs
Windows SharePoint Services
Temporary SharePoint space = C:\windows\temp\Frontpagetempdir
Service Related Data Bases
DHCP Database Store = C:\WINDOWS\system32\dhcp
WINS Database Store = C:\WINDOWS\system32\wins
X:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING\Data
X:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT\Data
X:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data
Additional Exclusions
Removable Storage Database (used by SBS Backup) =
C:\Windows\System32\ntmsdata
SBS POP3 connector Failed Mail =
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Networking\POP3\Failed Mail
SBS POP3 connector Incoming Mail =
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Networking\POP3\Incoming Mail
Windows Update Store = C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
X:\urlcache
X:\pagefile.sys (may be more than one)
AV Program Exclusions
x:\Folder where AV puts quarantined files
X:\<AV application folder>
Desktop Folder Exclusions
These folders need to be excluded in the desktops and notebooks
clients.
Windows Update Store = C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
Also, Refer to the MS KB Articles
815623
822158
245822
284947
Per 822158
The Windows Update or Automatic Update database file
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\datastore.edb
The transaction log files. These files are located in the following
folder
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb*.log
Note The wildcard character indicates that there may be several files.
. Res1.log
. Res2.log
. Edb.chk
. Tmp.edb
Per 815623
In summary, the targeted and excluded list of folders for a SYSVOL
tree that is placed in its default location would look similar to the
following:
1. %systemroot%\sysvol
Exclude
2. %systemroot%\sysvol\domain
Scan
3. %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory
Exclude
4. %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\Policies
Scan
5. %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\Scripts
Scan
6. %systemroot%\sysvol\staging
Exclude
7. %systemroot%\sysvol\staging areas
Exclude
8. %systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol
Exclude
If any one of these folder or files have been moved or placed in a
different location, scan or exclude the equivalent element.
. DFS
The same resources that are excluded for a SYSVOL replica set must
also be excluded when FRS is used to replicate shares that are mapped to the
DFS root and link targets on Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003-based
member computers or domain controllers.
