Re: MSSENSE.EXE Exclusions - how and where
Thanks for your reply. So as I understand it we have a situation where a Microsoft component with self-modifying behaviour can cause havoc with third party applications, but it might not cause the same havoc two days in a row or for two different customers, or it might cause a different type of havoc. If I were to set up a test environment to prove the issue it might not be replicable at all. And there's no way for the paying customer to turn this off. Thanks Microsoft.4.5KViews0likes0CommentsMSSENSE.EXE Exclusions - how and where
We are having file access type issues with various customers over the past week and in each case MSSENSE.EXE is the only thing accessing the files apart from our application. Note that we do not administer customer's AV ourselves - we are in the position of having to advise our customer's IT vendors on exclusions etc. I see conflicting reports on the web as to whether MSSENSE.EXE respects folder or file extension exclusions set up for the normal AV scanning, or alternatively that it is possible but Microsoft have to do it on the 365 tenant via a support ticket. For our customers at least, MSSENSE.EXE does not seem to respect file and folder exclusions. What is the definitive answer? Is it possible to exclude files\folders from MSSENSE.EXE? If so, how? Thanks in advanceSolved5.3KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Is there any way avoiding files locking by Defender for Endpoint (mssense.exe) without excluding
All We are having file access type issues with various customers over the past week and in all cases outside of our application MSSENSE.EXE is the only thing accessing the files. Note that we do not administer Endpoint ourselves - we are in the position of having to advise our customer's IT vendors on exclusions etc. I see conflicting reports on the web as to whether MSSENSE.EXE respects folder or file extension exclusions set up for the normal AV scanning, or that it is possible but Microsoft have to do it on the 365 tenant. Reading your comments here it appears that it *is* possible to set exclusions for MSSENSE.EXE. If so could someone give me a pointer as to where that is done so that I can advise our customers?7KViews1like1Comment
