UPDATE, SEP-2023: Please contact MS Support and ask to enable EDR Exclusions in your tenant.
The process to add EDR exclusion is not helping anyone, but wasting time and resources.
Current Process:
2019 Server
1 - Customer ID Issue - query taking longer then expected (32sec) with MDAV and MDE onboarded 2019Server. Passive mode shows no change. Uninstall MDAV, no change. Offboard machine (removes MsSense) query improves to 20sec. Install MDAV, query is the same. Onboard machine, query back to 32 secs
2 - Open "Unified Enterprise" support ticket for MDE explaining that MsSense is causing slowness and need to add an exclusion. List the exact paths and the two processes that need exclusion.
3 - MS Support: We will need you to run the MDE Client Analyzer to collect the needed logs to troubleshoot your issue.
