Scheduled scan profile doesn't exclude external HDDs?

JimmyNguyen

Hi all,

I have a scanning profile for a group of Windows 8 machines. The profile just specifies to scan Local drives only. Somehow it always scan the external HDD everyday?

What's wrong with it?

Thanks,

Jimmy

    Hello Jimmy,

    you're just showing your policy but not how the device appears in Windows (preferably in Disk Management) and how you found out that it is scanned?

    Hi Christian,

    I removed the disk a few days ago and just plugged it back today.

    For scanning log, I'll see what happen in tomorrow scan schedule and post it here.

    Thanks,

    Jimmy

    Hello Jimmy,

    thanks for the screenshot, no need for the log. The disk definitely appears as local disk - otherwise it should show  Removable  below Disk 1 instead of  Basic . Thus the scan is correct.

    Unfortunately you can exclude volumes/drives only by letter so in order to exclude it by policy you'd have to make sure it always gets the same letter.
