jlillard Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 We use Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 on our workstations and servers. I have found that it speeds things up if I exclude the Retrospect processes from being scanned by Forefront. Up until today I was excluding retrospect.exe and retroclient.exe. Today I happened to notice a server being backed up was running particularly slow. When I looked through Resource Manager I saw that it was actually pcpds.exe that was accessing the files and not the other processes. Since it wasn't excluded Forefront was scanning every file it was backing up. I've added pcpds.exe to the list of exclusions now. I'm just wondering if someone could give me a high level overview of what each of these processes do and which ones I really need to exclude from Forefront.

mastercam Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow....I didn't even think about this....very cool...thanks! We use Mcafee Enterprise and I'll have to see how to set this as an exclusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
