What does the CSIDL_BASEDIR path exclusion do? I keep looking online for documentation and can't seem to find anything that gives a clear answer.

CSIDL_BASEDIR is the path of the Secure Endpoint application, so typically C:\Program Files\Cisco\AMP.
Thanks,

Hey @Matthew Franks
Are you guys seeing this? All of my exclusions seem to throw this error now.
I'm setting it to CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES\Cisco\AMP

@Ken Stieers CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES/Cisco/AMP seems to work just fine in my environment. CSIDL_BASEDIR as in your photo looks like it needs a / at the end to be taken. You can see the same with FOLDERID.
Thanks,
Matt

Looks like we made a change early last month for this. The previously applied exclusions should work with no changes but any new changes would require the update.

Ken,
I've filed an enhancement request with our documentation team to have this properly documented. Thanks for the feedback.
