NOTE: Be sure to select the appropriate Add option (Folder or File) when adding an exclusion or you may not get the results expected. That is, use Add | Folder to exclude the auditing of activity against files/subfolders in folder(s) that match the exclusion string. Use Add | File to exclude the auditing of activity against file(s) that match the exclusion string. |
These examples show how to use file masks on the Exclusions tab of the auditing wizard. Note that <String> in these examples may contain any of the file mask characters described above (such as, fixed characters, * or ?).
